AUTOMATIC ARRIVAL TRANSITION
In an aircraft tracking a course
inbound to a destination airport, the
letters CRS will appear above the far
left soft key when the distance
becomes less than 30 miles. When
CRS is showing the autopilot can be
programmed to fly a transition from
the enroute arrival course to a
selected arrival course set into the
HSI. This is not intended to be used
in an IFR approach but instead as a
convenience for the low time pilot in
arriving at an un-familiar airport or
for the over loaded pilot in marginal
VFR weather.
To initiate the automatic
arrival mode, press CRS, select the
desired inbound runway course, and press APPR. The autopilot will now fly the entire arrival path to
the desired runway. An additional feature of the automatic arrival mode can be used to position the
aircraft according to the desired right or left hand pattern. After setting the inbound course press ENTER
instead of APPR to remain in track mode. Once the desired aircraft position is established, press CRS
then APPR to initiate the automatic arrival. This procedure works regardless of the direction of the
inbound course and that of the selected approach course to the airport.
