“NAV” Mode Operation – GPS Navigation
1. With a valid ight plan programmed and active in the GPS, use the CDI Nav
Source Select button to couple the GPS to the CDI (Section 4.3.5).
2. If Auto Course Select is disabled, set the Course Pointer to the desired course
(4.3.7), or enable Auto Course Select (Section 4.3.6).
3. With GPSS disabled, set the EFD1000 heading bug (Section 4.3.9) to a value
that will intercept the active leg of the ight plan, or enable GPSS via the
GPSS Hot Key.
4. Engage the autopilot in HDG mode and verify that the aircraft turns to a
heading to intercept the active leg of the ight plan.
5. Arm the NAV mode of the autopilot by selecting its NAV mode.
6. Monitor the CDI deection and verify that, upon intercepting the ight plan
leg, the autopilot switches to NAV Capture and turns to track the desired
course.
“APPR” Mode Operation – ILS Approach with Vectors to Final
1. Using the CDI Nav Source Select button, couple a tuned/valid ILS radio
frequency to the CDI, and set the desired approach course (Section 4.3.7).
2. Set the EFD1000 heading bug to a value that will intercept the desired course,
or as instructed by ATC (Section 4.3.9).
3. Engage the autopilot in HDG and altitude hold (ALT) modes and verify that
the aircraft turns to the desired heading.
4. Once cleared for the ILS approach, arm the autopilot’s APPR mode.
5. Monitor the CDI localizer deection and verify that, upon intercepting the
localizer, the autopilot switches to APPR capture, turns to track the localizer
course, and arms the glide slope (GS).
6. Monitor the autopilot localizer tracking performance. Upon intercepting the
glide slope, verify that the autopilot switches from GS arm to GS capture, and
initiates a descent to track the glide slope.
NOTE
In order for the autopilot to couple
to vertical guidance on WAAS
approaches, most autopilots must rst
be established on the nal approach
course and in ALT hold mode at least
two miles outside the FAF. APPR must
be annunciated on the EFD1000 and
the GPS system.
