COOL FEATURE
PROC button
The PROC key on the bezel acts as a shortcut for
attaching a published arrival or approach procedure
to a waypoint in your flight plan. It can be used at
any time. The first press of the key results in the IFD
displaying the FPL tab (Map-FPL view) of the FMS
page with the cursor on the Approach field of the
next destination after the active leg and a dropdown
containing the available published approaches.
Pressing PROC a second time will move the cursor
to the Arrival field and present a dropdown of
available published arrivals. Each subsequent press
of the PROC key will step through all following
destination airfields approaches and arrivals in the
flight plan and wrap back around to the top of the
flight plan. When the dropdown is presented for the
intended field, use either the right knob button or
touch to scroll the list until the desired procedure is
selected, then push the right knob button to add that
procedure to the flight plan.
If there is no flight plan, then pressing the PROC key
will present the FPL tab on the IFD with an insert
cursor at the top of the page but will not present any
procedures.
TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
Changing Selected Approach Type on Final †
If a VHF approach has been activated and then is
replaced with a new GPS approach prior to
activating the missed approach, it may be necessary
to manually change the nav source mode (e.g.
manually change VLOC to GPS if switching from an
ILS to an RNAV).
