Avidyne IFD440 - Activating a Leg

Configuring Visual Approaches
Several user configurable settings are available on the Setup
page to control the appearance and behavior of visual
approaches (see page 4-55). The settings can be used to adjust
for user preferences or aircraft performance.
 Pattern width – distance between the runway and a
downwind leg
 Final length – distance from the runway threshold at
which a base leg intercepts the final approach course
 Glideslope – the descent angle of the final approach
Additionally, there is a setting to enable or disable visual
approaches. When set to disabled, visual approaches will no
longer be presented in dropdown menus.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Once a visual approach has been inserted into the
flight plan, it retains the settings that were in effect
when it was inserted. To change the final length,
pattern width, or glideslope of the approach in the
flight plan, the settings must be changed on the
Setup page, and then the approach must be
reinserted into the flight plan.
ACTIVATING A LEG
To activate a different leg of the flight plan from the FPL tab,
either use the bottom knob or touch the desired leg to highlight it
and then select the “Activate Leg” LSK.
