GPS APPROACH (WITH VERTICAL GUIDANCE) (WAAS)
When conducting a WAAS approach with the NAV GPSS mode engaged, the
autopilot will execute the entire lateral approach sequence (i.e., intercept and
track front outbound course, complete procedure turn, intercept and track
front inbound course).
In addition, the autopilot will execute the following vertical approaches:
1. LPV (precision and LNAV/VNAV)
2. LNAV+V (non-precision)
Once on the front inbound course, the NAV APR mode must be engaged
in order to intercept and track either GPS glideslope listed above. The
remainder of the approach should be own like a Straight-In ILS.
VOR TRACKING AND VOR-LOC APPROACH
1. Begin with a reliable VOR or LOC signal selected on NAV 1 or 2 of the
G1000.
2. Select VOR 1 or 2 as appropriate on the G1000 CDI.
3. Select the desired course on the HSI and establish a desired intercept
heading.
4. Press the NAV button on the autopilot computer.
NAV will be annunciated
on the G1000 and the autopilot computer.
5. For increased sensitivity during an approach, press the APR button on the
autopilot computer. Both
NAV and APR annunciations will be shown on
the G1000 and the autopilot display.
CAUTION: The aircraft will not automatically level off at the Decision
Height (DH) or Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA). The pilot must maintain
an awareness of their altitude at all times, and disconnect the autopilot at
DH or MDA for either a landing or Go-Around (GA).
NOTE: Another method which provides smooth changes in course while
enroute (ying airways) is to program the route as a ight-plan in the
G1000 and utilize the GPSS mode of the autopilot.
NOTE: For station passage, it is recommended to switch to HDG mode
when 1 mile or less from the station with the HDG set as desired to
maintain a steady track on the course.
