System Overview Flight Planning Whenever an approach is selected, the choice to either "Load Approach" or "Activate Approach" is given. "Load Approach" adds the approach to the end of the flight plan without immediately using it for navigation guidance. This allows continued navigation via the intermediate waypoints in the original flight plan, but keeps the procedure available on the Active Flight Plan Page for quick activation when needed. "Activate Approach" also adds the procedure to the end of the flight plan but immediately begins to navigate to the first waypoint in the approach. Flight Instruments EIS CNS Interface GPS Navigation Flight Planning Hazard Avoidance Additional Features Integrated Autopilot Annun/Alerts Select Approach Window (Split-Screen) SELECTING AN APPROACH When selecting an approach, it replaces the destination airport with the sequence of waypoints for the selected approach. Keep in mind that the airport must have a published approach (GPS, RNAV, VOR, NDB, localizer, or ILS) and only the final course segment (final approach fix to missed approach point) of the published approach is available (unless an external navigator is configured). An approach can be selected from the Direct-to Window, Waypoint (WPT) Page, Active Flight Plan Page, and the Saved Flight Plan Page. Loading an approach from the active or saved flight plan page: 1) Press the FPL Key. 2) Turn the FMS Joystick to display the Active Flight Plan Page or Saved Flight Plan Page. 190-01115-00 Rev.
