Garmin 430 rquestion- does the approach always have to be activated via "activate approach"?
One annoyance of the 430 is that activating an approach will
immediately set a course for the selected IAF (assuming RV not selected). What I would like to do is append the approach to my current flightplan so that I can transition en route to the approach without further programming. But I'm concerned that a loaded, unactivated approach will cause the 430 not to switch to approach senstivity. I tried this in the simulator and found that it seems to work fine, the sensitivity changes 2nm from the FAF and all is well; but I'm hesistant to start using the method in the A/C. Can someone else verify that it is ok? What method do you use? |
