NAV Mode Operation – GPS Navigation
1. With a valid flight plan programmed and active in the GPS, use the CDI
Source Select button to couple the GPS to the PFD
2. If AUTOCRS is disabled, set the Course Pointer to the desired course (CRS) , or
enable AUTOCRS
3. With GPSS disabled, set the PFD Heading Bug to a value that will intercept the
active leg of the flight plan, or enable GPSS via the GPSS Hot Key.
4. Engage the autopilot in Heading (HDG) mode and verify that the aircraft turns
to a heading to intercept the active leg of the flight plan.
5. If your autopilot supports automatic heading to nav mode transitions, arm
the navigation capture on the autopilot by selecting its Navigation (NAV)
mode. Otherwise, select the autopilot Navigation (NAV) mode when the
autopilot navigation signal capture criteria are satisfied (see your autopilot
AFMS for more information).
6. Monitor the PFD CDI deflection and verify that, upon intercepting the flight
plan leg, the autopilot modes transition appropriately and the autopilot tracks
the desired course.
APPR Mode Operation – ILS Approach with Vectors to Final
1. Using the CDI Source Select button, couple a tuned/valid ILS radio frequency
to the PFD CDI, and adjust the course (CRS) (Section 4.4.7).
2. Set the PFD Heading Bug to a value that will intercept the desired course, or
as instructed by ATC (Section 4.4.9).
3. Engage the autopilot in Heading (HDG) and Altitude (ALT) Hold modes and
verify that the aircraft turns to the desired heading.
4. Once cleared for the ILS approach, arm the autopilot’s Approach (APPR)
mode, or continue to fly Heading (HDG) mode until the CDI centers.
NOTE
Not all autopilots operate in the manner described
here for intercepting courses. See the AFMS for your
autopilot installation to understand how to adapt
these example procedures to your particular autopilot.
NOTE
In order for the autopilot to couple to vertical guidance
on GPS WAAS approaches, most autopilots must first
be established on the final approach course and in the
Altitude (ALT) Hold mode at least two miles outside the
Final Approach Fix (FAF). The Approach (APPR) mode
must be annunciated on both the PFD and the GPS.
