SECTION 6 PROCEDURES 10) After crossing the FAF, the destination sequences to the MAP ('RW22', the runway threshold). With the needle centered, fly toward the MAP, observing the altitude minimums dictated by the approach plate. When viewing the Map Page, note that the final course segment is displayed in magenta (the active leg of the flight plan always appears in magenta) and a dashed line extends the course beyond the MAP (Figure 6-47). Figure 6-47 Final Course Segment 11) When approaching the MAP, a waypoint alert ('APPRCHING WPT') appears in the lower right corner. 12) After crossing the MAP, 'SUSP' appears above the OBS Key (Figure 6-48), indicating that automatic sequencing of approach waypoints is suspended at the MAP. A 'from' indication is displayed on the CDI and Default NAV Page, but course guidance along the final approach course continues. Do not follow this extended course. Follow published missed approach procedures using the OBS Key to initiate the missed approach sequence, as outlined in 'Flying the Missed Approach' in this section. Figure 6-48 'SUSP' Annunciation Vectors to Final Take a second look at the 'VOR 22' approach into Billard Municipal. Instead of following the DME arc, ATC tells the pilot to expect vectors onto the final approach course. There are several ways to select 'vectors to final' with the GNC 420. The first two options below normally require the least workload to accomplish: • When the approach is first selected, choose 'VECTORS' from the Transitions Window. • Load a full approach (including the IAF from the Transitions Window) as described in Section 6.1. When cleared, press the PROC Key and select 'Activate Vectors-To-Final?'. • Load the full approach as described in Section 6.1. Use the Direct-to Key (by pressing it twice) from the Active Flight Plan Page to select the desired leg of the approach. 190-00140-20 Rev. K GNC 420(A) Pilot's Guide and Reference 6-17
