COURSE REVERSAL
A course reversal may be defined as a transition to an approach
procedure in the navigation database. The course reversal appears as
a Hold pattern in the flight plan (H symbol). The FMS will provide
automated guidance to perform the course reversal by performing the
appropriate Hold entry, as determined by the Hold pattern entry
geometry. The Hold fix will be automatically sequenced after the Hold
entry is performed. If a course reversal is to be flown as a direct entry,
the pilot may elect not to fly the course reversal. In this case, the pilot
should select the EXIT prompt on the FPL page prior to sequencing
the Hold fix.
NOTE: - It is advised to conduct course reversals at speeds less than
210 kt. If course reversals are conducted at higher speeds,
the crew should monitor position throughout the maneuver,
to ensure protected airspace is maintained.
- Do not follow VNAV Path Deviation Indicator on the PFD
during Course Reversals.
PROCEDURE TURN
A procedure turn may be defined as a transition to an approach
p
rocedure in the navigation database. The procedure turn is indicated
with a P symbol in the flight plan. The FMS will provide automated
guidance to perform the procedure turn. Prior to sequencing the
procedure turn fix, the pilot should confirm the outbound distance and
turn angle. If desired, the pilot may elect to begin the turn early by
selecting the TURN prompt on the FPL page.
NOTE: It is advised to conduct procedure turns at speeds less than
210 kt. If procedure turns are conducted at higher speeds, the
crew should monitor position throughout the maneuver, to
ensure protected airspace is maintained.
APPROACH
The FMS may be used to provide primary guidance for the following
non-precision instrument approach types: GPS, RNAV (non-GPS and
GPS required types), VOR, VOR-DME, NDB, and NDB-DME.
ILS, LOC, LOC-BC, LDA, and SDF approaches can be retrieved from
the navigation database and inserted into the flight plan, but cannot be
used to provide primary guidance using the FMS. The FMS maps may
be used during these approach types to provide supplemental data.
