John Collins wrote: When an approach is loaded, it is appended to the flight plan after the destination airport. As stated earlier, the waypoints in the original flight plan will sequence normally until the destination airport is reached, at which time the 430 will navigate direct to the IAF waypoint and automatically "activate" the approach sequence. To cut to the chase, those of us familiar with using FMSes know to clear the destination airport from the flight plan once the approach is loaded. In a full-press FMS, this is known as a route-discontinuity. And, clearing that discontinuity in a full-press FMS or a Garmin panel mount will get it all to work as a flight plan with continuity. On a GNS430, activating the loaded approach is simpler. PROC, ENTER. I took another look at it and disagree. Once the IAP is selected removing the airport can be done prior to a critical phase of flight, then everything sequences without pilot intervention. FPL, push small knob to get cursor, scroll down to airport, CLR, ENTER to confirm, FPL to get back to NAV page. vs PROC, ENTER. And if you have to change approaches, which sometimes happens, you can't select a new one without a destination airport. |
