INTRODUCTION

IFR Procedures

Once the direct-to or flight plan is confirmed, the whole

range of instrument procedures is available. Departures
(SIDs), arrivals (STARs), non-precision and precision
approaches are stored within the NavData card and are
available using the PROC (procedures) Key.

To display the Procedures Page (Figure 1-23), press the

PROC Key.

Figure 1-23 Procedures Page

The steps required to select and activate an approach,

departure, or arrival are identical. This introductory
section shows examples of the steps required to select an
approach, but keep in mind the same process also applies
to departures and arrivals.

Selecting an approach, departure, or
arrival:

1) Turn the large right knob to select the desired

option (‘Select Approach?’, ‘Select Arrival?’,
or ‘Select Departure?’) from the Procedures
Page.

2) Press the ENT Key to display a list of

available procedures for the arrival (when using
approaches or STARs) or departure (when using
SIDs) airport.

3) Turn the small right knob to select the desired

procedure and press the ENT Key.

4) For approaches, a window appears (Figure

1-24) to select the desired initial approach
fix (IAF) or provide a ‘vectors’ option to select
just the final course segment of the approach.
Turn the small right knob to select the desired
option and press the ENT Key. (The ‘vectors’
option extends the final inbound course beyond
the final approach fix, allowing the pilot to
intercept the final course segment beyond its
normal limits.)

5) For departures and arrivals, a window appears

to select the desired transition. Turn the small
right knob to select the desired option and
press the ENT Key.

In the flight plan or direct-to, the departure or arrival

airport is replaced with the sequence of waypoints
contained within the selected procedure.
