Figure 6-42 Procedures Page
Flying the Vectors Approach
With ‘vectors to final’ selected, the CDI needle remains
off center until the aircraft is established on the final
approach course. With the approach activated, the Map
Page displays an extension of the final approach course in
magenta (magenta is used to depict the active leg of the
flight plan) and ‘VTF’ appears as part of the active leg on
the Default NAV Page (as a reminder that the approach
was activated with vectors-to-final).

Figure 6-43 Terminal Mode
In this example, assume ATC vectors result in a
rectangular course to intercept final, as follows (refer to
Figure 6-43 for the following steps):
1) Within 30 nm of KTOP, the GNS 530 switches
from enroute mode to terminal mode and the
CDI scale transitions from 5.0 to 1.0 nm, full
scale deflection.
2) If the approach has not already been activated,
activate the approach (with vectors-to-final,
Figure 6-44). This allows the GNS 530 to
provide guidance to the final approach
course.
