Garmin APOLLO GX65 - Manual (Page 272)

There are several other types of waypoints which may
appear in your Apollo GX loaded approach and
which may or may not appear on your approach
procedure charts.
Following is a brief description of these types of
waypoints and the naming convention followed.
Identificatio
n
Each waypoint in an Apollo GX flight plan has an
identifying type and a name. There are a few
exceptions, where some approach waypoints may be
“undefined.” When you view the flight plan legs, by
turning the
SMALL knob while viewing a flight plan in
FLIGHT PLAN mode, the display will show a
“FROM” waypoint and a “TO” waypoint for each leg.
Under the names for the waypoint, the waypoint type
is usually displayed although this field may be
changed by pressing
SEL and turning the SMALL knob
to show other information such as leg ETE. The
FROM-TO-NEXT page, located one click to the left
of the ‘home’ navigation page, always shows the
waypoint names and types for this two-leg “window”
view of your active flight plan.
Most of the waypoint types for en route waypoints are
quite familiar. They include ARPT for Airport, VOR,
NDB, INT for intersection and USER for a
user-defined waypoint.
The approach waypoint types will usually also have
familiar types, but there may be a few types which are
new. The approach waypoint types include:
IAF Initial Approach Fix
FAF Final Approach Fix. Note that there must always be a
Final Approach Fix inbound for TSO C129a
approaches. When an underlying approach, such as a
VOR or NDB approach does not have an inbound
FAF, one is created or added.
IFAF Combined Initial and Final Approach Fix with no
intermediate waypoints. (Sometimes a procedure turn
