Overview GPS Navigation Flight Planning Activating Vectors-to-Final After an approach has been activated, the 'Activate Vectors-to-Final' menu option is used when being vectored to the final approach course by Air Traffic Control (ATC). When Vectors-to-Final are activated, the aera creates an extension of the final course, beyond the final approach waypoint in the database (final approach fix [FAF]). A Vector to Final symbol appears beside the first approach waypoint in the Active Flight Plan. Activating/Cancelling Vectors-to-Final: 1) From the 'Home' Screen, touch the Active FPL Icon. 2) While navigating an Active Flight Plan (with an approach activated), touch the Menu Icon. 3) Touch the 'Activate Vectors-to-Final' or 'Cancel Vectors-to-Final' menu option. Vectors-toFinal Symbol Final Course Extension Additional Features Hazard Avoidance Flight Planning Appendices Vectors-to-Final (Active Flight Plan) Vectors-to-Final (Map) The aera provides no guidance to the inbound course. The course deviation needle on the graphic HSI remains off-center until established on the final approach course. The map shows an extension of the final approach course using a bold magenta line. If Vectors-to-Final are not activated, the aera creates a straight-line course directly to the first waypoint in the approach. Loading the approach cancels the Direct-to and initiates a route to the FAF. 78 Garmin aera 500 Series Pilot's Guide 190-01117-02 Rev. A Index
