Default Century 2000 + GNS430 newbie question

Hello,

I have a general question about the Century 2000 and GNS430... If I
select an approach (say a VOR approach), can the AP fly the whole full
approach for me (except the altitudes)... procedure turn, etc? Any
help on how/if this is possible would be great.

Thanks,

-Dico

Yes and no. The 430/530/2000 will fly the entire approach, but you will have
to go to "Heading" mode and manually select headings in the procedure turn
and holding pattern, the go back to "NAV" on the inbound course.

The 430/530 will not fly the entire approach in "NAV".

The Garmin 480 will. The 480 is a much more capable box.
