'Load?' adds the approach to the flight plan without immediately using the approach for navigation guidance. This allows the pilot to continue navigating the original flight plan until cleared for the approach, but keeps the approach available for quick activation when needed. 5) For precision approaches, a reminder window appears indicating that GPS guidance on such approaches is strictly for monitoring only. To confirm this reminder, highlight 'Yes?' and press the ENT Key. 190-00140-20 Rev. K GNC 420(A) Pilot's Guide and Reference 5-11
