ILS INTERCEPT AND TRACKING

1. Begin with a reliable ILS signal selected on NAV 1 or NAV 2 of the G1000.

2. Select LOC 1 or 2 as appropriate using the G1000 CDI softkey.

3. Verify the inbound course is selected on the HSI

4. Establish an intercept heading using the G1000 heading bug and the HDG

mode on the autopilot computer.

5. Establish an intercept altitude using the ALT mode of the autopilot.

6. Using the autopilot computer, press and hold HDG and then press APR

(

HDG, NAV, APR, and ALT annunciated).

7. Once the aircraft is within 50% needle deection of the localizer centerline

and more than 10% needle deection below the glideslope the GS

(glideslope) mode will automatically arm (

GS).

8. The GS annunciation will ash whenever the needle deection exceeds

50% or the glideslope signal is lost. If the glideslope signal is lost, the

FAIL annunciation will also be shown.

9. At the decision height or 300 feet AGL (whichever occurs rst), disengage

the autopilot to land or execute a missed approach.

NOTE: If the approach positions the aircraft slightly above the glideslope,

then manual engagement of the glideslope mode can be instantly achieved

by pressing the ALT button on the autopilot computer.

CAUTION: Manual engagement of the glideslope mode when the

aircraft is positioned above the GS centerline will cause a more aggressive

intercept toward the glideslope. Do not manually engage the glideslope

mode if the glideslope needle deection is greater than 10% above center.

NOTE: The armed glideslope mode can be subsequently disabled by

pressing the APR mode selector switch. The

GS annunciation will ash

to acknowledge this. To then re-arm the glideslope mode, press the

APR mode selector switch again. The

GS annunciation will immediately

extinguish, but reappear after one second.

NOTE: With the glideslope armed, once the aircraft reaches 5%

Glideslope Deviation Indication (GDI) needle deection below the

glideslope, the

ALT annunciation will extinguish to indicate engagement

of the glideslope mode and the Glideslope Mode annunciation will change

from white (armed) to green (active).
