We load the KRNO ILS16R approach into the GPS, selecting TAKLE as our IAF. The ILS
frequency (110.9) is placed in the standby window of the 430W. Brieng the approach,
we note our Decision Altitude (DA) is 5,515 feet. We set our approach MINIMUMS on
the EFD1000 to 5,520 feet (MIN are set in increments of 10 feet, so we round up). And
we set our Selected Airspeed for the approach at 105 KIAS.
1. Press the MIN Hot Key (Figure 3-32). The MIN display appears on the lower
right-hand corner of the ADI in magenta (Figure 3-33), ready for setting, and
the MIN legend adjacent to the Hot Key changes from gray to magenta.
2. Turn the Right Knob to set 5,520 on the MIN display.
3. Press the Left knob twice to select IAS for editing.
4. Turn the Left knob to set 105 knots as our target airspeed.
We’re all set up for the approach. Nearing Mustang (FMG), Oakland Center hands us o
to Reno Approach, and we request own nav for the ILS16R. Approach gives us the new
altimeter setting of 30.08, clears us down to 9,000 feet, and after FMG direct TAKLE. We
initiate the descent, set 30.08 in the standby altimeter, and set the EFD1000:
1. Press the Right knob twice to select ALT for editing.
2. Turn the Right knob left to set 9,000 as our Selected Altitude.
3. Press the Right knob once more to select BARO for editing
4. Turn the Right knob left to set 30.08 as our baro setting.
Fifteen seconds before reaching 9,000 feet, the Altitude Alerter ag illuminates and the
alert tone sounds. We begin our level-o, and re-engage ALT hold on the autopilot
upon reaching 9,000 feet. We leave the autopilot in HDG mode, and continue with
GPSS enabled on the EFD1000.
Crossing FMG, the GPS sequences to TAKLE, our Course Pointer swings automatically
from 302º to 316º, and GPSS continues to steer us on course. We power back to slow
down. Reno Approach calls, reports us six miles from TAKLE and clears us for the ILS16R
approach, pilot nav.
