5. Monitor the CDI’s deflection and verify (if supported by your autopilot) that,
upon intercepting the localizer, the autopilot switches to Approach (APPR)
capture, and tracks the localizer course. Otherwise, engage the autopilot
Navigation or Approach mode per the procedures in your autopilot’s AFMS.
6. Monitor the autopilot localizer tracking performance. Upon intercepting the
glide slope, verify that the autopilot captures the Glide Slope (GS) and initiates
a descent to track the glide slope.
APPR Mode Operation – GPS or GPS/RNAV APV WAAS Approach
1. With a valid GPS approach programmed 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, 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 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 approach.
5. For autopilots that do not support automatic heading mode to Navigation
(NAV) or Approach (APPR) mode transitions, use the Heading Bug to establish
the aircraft inbound to the Final Approach Fix (FAF) and then engage the
autopilot’s Approach (APPR) mode.
6. For autopilots that support automatic Heading (HDG) to Approach (APPR)
mode transitions, monitor the PFD CDI and verify that, upon intercepting
the active leg of the approach, the autopilot turns to track the GPS approach
course guidance.
THE FOLLOWING APPLY FOR WAAS GPS/RNAV APV APPROACHES ONLY
7. Once cleared for the GPS/RNAV approach, select the autopilot’s Approach
(APPR) mode.
