PROCEDURES Procedure 7 FLYING A COURSE FROM FIX TO DISTANCE, OR COURSE FROM FIX TO DME DISTANCE Certain approach, departure and arrival procedures in the Jeppesen database contain course from fix flight plan legs. The G1000 is able to load these legs into the flight plan along with the rest of the procedure data, and to provide navigation along these legs. There are four different types of course from fix legs: • Course from fix to distance • Course from fix to DME distance • Course from fix to an altitude • Course from fix to manual termination Course from fix to distance or DME distance legs appear in the flight plan like normal waypoints, but the destination name always begins with a "D", followed by a distance in tenths of nautical miles from the waypoint fix. This example uses the VOR/ DME RWY 25 approach into Palmdale, California (KPMD), and includes a teardrop course reversal. See figure 5. 1. Select KPMD as the destination, via the Direct-To key or as the last waypoint in a flight plan. 2. Press the PROC key and select the VOR/DME 25 approach. From the transitions window, select 'PMD' as the IAF. 3. As the plane reaches the IAF (PMD), the waypoint message 'NEXT DTK 070°' is displayed in the navigation status bar on the PFD. As the waypoint approaches, the message is replaced by a turn advisory 'TURN TO 070°'. The plane is now on the course from fix to distance leg as shown on the active flight plan. The distance displayed in the flight plan is "D13.0". The flight plan automatically sequences to the next leg upon reaching "D13.0". 4. As the plane approaches "D13.0", the waypoint message 'NEXT DTK 265' is displayed. Make a standard rate turn to the right to intercept the final approach course and watch for the CDI needle to center. 5. As the plane approaches the intermediate fix 'CF25', the waypoint message 'NEXT DTK 265°' is displayed. Fly this inbound course, keeping the CDI needle centered. CDI coupling automatically switches from GPS receiver to the Nav receiver. 6. Within 2.0 nm of the FAF (THERO), the G1000 switches from terminal mode to 0.3. CDI scaling is tightened from 1.0 to 0.3 nm, full range deflection. 7. As the plane approaches the FAF (THERO), 'NEXT DTK 265°' is displayed. Continue to keep the CDI needle centered. 8. As the plane crosses the FAF, the destination sequences to MAP (MA25). 9. As the plane approaches the MAP, the waypoint message 'ARRIVING AT WAYPOINT' is displayed. 10. As the plane crosses the MAP, 'SUSP' is displayed above the SUSP softkey, indicating that automatic sequencing of approach waypoints is suspended at the MAP. Course guidance along the final approach course continues. Do NOT follow this extended course. If a missed approach is required, follow the missed approach procedures as published on the approach plate. Press the SUSP softkey to return to automatic sequencing of waypoints. 190-00368-04 Rev.
