You cannot load multiple approaches into this unit. Approaches by their
nature terminate the flight plan at the airport. You can cycle the unit to the holding fix, but that is about it. If you were able to load multiple approaches the unit could become confused on missed approach whether to cycle to the holding fix or to the next approach. I suppose you could manually enter all the waypoints for each of the approaches you wanted to fly, but then the GPS would never go into approach mode. One thing I have noticed with both the GARMIN and the King GPS units is that if there is a flight plan stored in the unit and you select an approach, the software will append that approach to the flight plan stored in the unit. This is all right if the stored flight plan terminates at the destination airport, but if it terminates at another airport I have seen them offer erroneous information such as bad vectors. I recommend clearing the stored flight plan completely before selecting an approach if that flight plan terminates at another airport. |
