Garmin APOLLO GX65 - Manual (Page 195)

Approach
Procedure
There are three general types of Apollo GX operation:
· En Route
ü Load Destination Waypoint
ü
Load Approach Information
· Approach Transition (or Approach Enabled)
ü Enable approach (Method 1 or 2)
ü
30 nm from Destination Airport
ü Initial Approach Fix
ü Final Approach Fix
·
Approach Active
ü Crossing the Final Approach Fix
ü Missed Approach Point
When conducting an approach, your Apollo GX will
progress from En Route to Approach Transition when
the pilot enables the approach, then to Approach
Active, and possibly back to Approach Transition in
the event of a missed approach.
En Route
Operations
En route operations describe all operations prior to 30
nm from your destination airport. Your Apollo GX is
providing en route operation whenever the Approach
annunciator light is not on. The default CDI
sensitivity for en route is 5.0 nm; however, you may
manually select other CDI sensitivities. Generally,
you will select your destination airport prior to
departure or while en route, and you will usually
select and load an anticipated approach from the
database into your active flight plan while en route.
Note
An approach can only be selected for an
airport when it is the last waypoint in your
active flight plan.
