SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS Automatic Flight Control System Approach Modes (FMS, VAPP, LOC) NOTE: The selected navigation receiver must have a valid VOR or LOC signal or active FMS course for the flight director to enter Approach Mode. Approach Mode is activated when the APR Key is pressed. Approach Mode acquires and tracks the selected navigation source (FMS, VOR, or LOC), depending on loaded approach. This mode uses the selected navigation receiver deviation and desired course inputs to fly the approach. Pressing the APR Key when the CDI is greater than one dot arms the selected approach mode (annunciated in white to the left of the active lateral mode). If the CDI is less than one dot, the LOC is automatically captured when the APR Key is pressed. VOR Approach Mode (VAPP) provides greater sensitivity for signal tracking than VOR Navigation Mode . Selecting VOR Approach Mode: 1) Ensure a valid VOR frequency is tuned. 2) Ensure that VOR is the selected navigation source (use the Active Nav Softkey to cycle through navigation sources if necessary). 3) Press the APR Key. When FMS Approach Mode is armed, Glidepath Mode is also armed. Selecting FMS Approach Mode: 1) Ensure a FMS approach is loaded into the active flight plan. The active waypoint must be part of the flight plan (cannot be a direct-to a waypoint not in the flight plan). 2) Ensure that FMS is the selected navigation source (use the Active Nav Softkey to cycle through navigation sources if necessary). 3) Press the APR Key. AUDIO PANEL & CNS FLIGHT MANAGEMENT AVOIDANCE HAZARD AFCS ADDITIONAL FEATURES APPENDICES Figure 7-24 Navigation/Approach Mode Armed LOC Approach Mode allows the autopilot to fly a LOC/ILS approach with a glideslope. When LOC Approach Mode is armed, Glideslope Mode is also armed automatically. LOC captures are inhibited if the difference between aircraft heading and localizer course exceeds 105°. Selecting LOC Approach Mode: 1) Ensure a valid localizer frequency is tuned. 2) Ensure that LOC is the selected navigation source (use the Active Nav Softkey to cycle through navigation sources if necessary). 3) Press the APR Key.
