PROCEDURES Procedure 8 FLYING A COURSE FROM FIX TO ALTITUDE 'Course from fix to altitude' legs shows the specific target altitude on the active flight plan. This example is based upon a flight from KSMO (Santa Monica Municipal) to KPMD (Palmdale, CA) with VOR/DME RWY 25 approach selected, which includes a course from fix to altitude leg. In this instance, the leg corresponds to the initial phase of the missed approach, which reads "Climb to 5000 outbound via PMD VOR R-282". See figure 5. 1. After crossing the MAP, press the SUSP softkey. The missed approach sequence is automatically offered, starting with the course from fix to altitude leg. The 'NEXT DTK 282°' waypoint message is displayed in the navigation status bar on the PFD. Follow the missed approach procedures, as published on the approach plate, for proper climb and heading instructions. 2. Note that within a few seconds of pressing the SUSP softkey to release suspend mode and start the missed approach sequence, 'SUSP' is re-displayed above the SUSP softkey as the G1000 returns to suspend mode. This is normal when flying a course from a fix to altitude leg and indicates that automatic leg sequencing is suspended. 3. Fly the outbound course keeping the CDI needle centered. The Navigation Map Page depicts the flight path extending indefinitely from the PMD VOR. The distance increases and indicates the distance back to the PMD VOR. 4. Upon reaching the desired altitude (5000), press SUSP to return to automatic leg sequencing. Confirm that 'SUSP' no longer is displayed directly above the SUSP softkey. 5. The message 'NEXT DTK 133°' is displayed, guiding to the inbound course. The actual desired track (DTK) depends on the ground speed and distance from PMD VOR. Intercept and fly the inbound course, keeping the CDI needle centered. 6. As the plane approaches PMD VOR (the missed approach holding point), a message in the navigation status bar recommends the holding pattern entry 'HOLD PARALLEL'. 7. Note that the G1000 again displays 'SUSP' above the SUSP softkey. Automatic waypoint sequencing is suspended at the missed approach holding point. The waypoint message (ARRIVING AT WAYPOINT) is displayed each time the plane approaches the PMD VOR in the holding pattern. 8. When leaving the holding pattern, press the PROC key to reactivate the approach or select a different approach, or press the Direct-To key to select another destination. 190-00368-04 Rev.
