GPS Guidance on an IFR Approach Procedure
For precision approaches and some non-precision approaches, a reminder
window appears indicating that GPS guidance on such approaches is
strictly for monitoring only — use the VLOC receivers and external CDI (or
HSI) for primary navigation. To confirm this reminder, highlight ‘Yes?’ and
press the ENT Key.

Activating Approach Procedure
A selected approach may be activated or loaded. Activating the approach
overrides the ‘ENROUTE’ portion of the active flight plan, proceeding directly
to the ‘APPROACH’ portion (for a full approach, directly to the initial approach
fix). Activating the approach also initiates automatic CDI scaling transition as
the approach progresses. In many cases, it may be easiest to ‘Load’ the full
approach while still some distance away, ENROUTE to the destination airport.
