Approach (APR) Mode Using a
DG from HDG Mode
(45° Intercept)

The Approach (APR) mode

allows the autopilot to intercept and
track LOC, VOR/RNAV and GPS
courses.

To arm APR mode (with the

KAP 140 currently in the HDG
mode):

1. Select the desired frequency for
LOC, VOR or RNAV. For GPS,
verify the desired approach.

2. OBS Knob - SELECT desired
approach course. (For a localizer,
set it to serve as a memory aid.)

3. APR Mode Selector Button -
PRESS. Note APR ARM annun-
ciated.

NOTE: When APR is selected, the
autopilot will flash HDG for 5 sec-
onds to remind the pilot to reset the
HDG bug to the desired approach
course. Check the heading dis-
played on the DG against the mag-
netic compass and reset if neces-
sary.
