Overview GPS Navigation GPS Navigation The "Approaching VNAV Profile" message appears one minute prior to the initial descent point. The descent angle locks to prevent changes in speed from altering the profile. The VNAV feature does not take into account any changes in groundspeed that occur during the transition from level flight to descent or climb. At 500 ft above the target altitude, the "Approaching Target Altitude" message appears, the 'Estimated Time To VNAV' goes blank, and the VNAV indicator disappears from the HSI.
