Esterline CMA-9000 - Vectoring to Final Approach Fix

OPERATOR’S MANUAL
CMA-9000 FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
VECTORING TO FINAL APPROACH FIX
ATC (Air Traffic Control) clearance to the FAF can be handled by converting the loaded approach into a straight-in
approach. This is accomplished by direct-to navigation to intercept the inbound course to the final approach fix
(FAF).
With the ACT or MOD RTE LEGS 1/X page displayed:
1. Copy to the scratchpad, the FAF identifier, and move it to the TO WPT location by pressing LSK 1L.
2. Key-in the desired inbound course to the FAF and press <INTC CRS> (LSK 6R).
The intercept course changes to LARGE font and is copied to the TO WPT course.
3. Verify the course and distance of the leg to the TO WPT, and make the direct-to intercept active by pressing
EXEC.
Navigation and guidance to intercept the inbound course to the FAF on the current heading is provided.
A straight-in approach can also be created in advance by inserting a temporary waypoint into the route as an initial
approach fix (IAF) created as a place/bearing/distance waypoint based on, the FAF. On receipt of the ATC
clearance, direct-to navigation to this temporary IAF, or to intercept the new leg inbound to the FAF, can then be
performed.
