5. Monitor the CDI localizer deflection and verify upon intercepting the localizer that
the autopilot switches to Approach NAV Capture, turns to track the localizer course,
and arms the glide slope.
6. Monitor the autopilot localizer tracking performance. Upon intercepting the glide
slope verify that the autopilot switches from glide slope ARM to glide slope capture,
and initiates a descent to track the glide slope.
“APPR” Mode Operation – GPS or GPS LPV WAAS Approach
1. With a valid GPS Approach programmed in the GPS, use the CDI Nav Source Select
switch to couple the GPS to the HSI.
2. With GPSS OFF, set the EFD1000 heading bug to a value that will intercept the active
leg of the flight plan.
- OR-
Select GPSS ON via the GPSS Hot Key.
3. Engage the autopilot in heading mode and verify that the aircraft turns to a heading
to intercept the active leg of the approach
4. Monitor the CDI cross track deviation and verify that upon intercepting the active leg
of the approach that the autopilot turns to track the GPS Approach guidance
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES FOR GPS LPV APPROACHES ONLY
5. Once cleared for the GPS LPV approach, arm the autopilot’s Approach mode.
6. Monitor the CDI GPS Lateral Deviation and verify that while tracking and/or
intercepting the final approach course that once the GPS APPROACH mode goes
active and LPV vertical deviation is presented on the EFD that the autopilot arms the
glide slope.
7. Monitor the autopilot lateral approach course tracking. Upon intercepting the LPV
glide slope verify that the autopilot switches from glide slope ARM to glide slope
capture, and initiates a descent to track the LPV glide slope.
GPSS “APPR” Mode Operation – GPS Underlay to ILS Approach
1. With a valid GPS Approach programmed in the GPS, use the CDI Nav Source Select
switch to couple the GPS to the HSI.
2. Select GPSS ON via the GPSS Hot Key.
3. Engage the autopilot in heading mode and verify that the aircraft turns to a heading
to intercept the active leg of the approach
4. Monitor the CDI cross track deviation and progress along the ILS GPS Approach
Underlay
5. Verify that the ILS frequency is tuned
6. Once cleared for the ILS approach, couple the EFD1000 HSI to the tuned ILS (if not
done automatically by the coupled radio) and arm the autopilot’s Approach mode.
