Sounds like you need to tell Mr Adamant to show you how its done... and
see if he's really correct on this issue..

The topic came up while doing multiple practice approaches at a non

the
approaches before you take off?" Ummmm.... you can't!

I've been told that it is possible to load successive approaches in the
flight plan page but have been un able to either figure out how to do
it

or

find any info in the manual about it. For instance if I wanted to

create a


I am unaware of any way to do this, nor would I consider this to be a
desirable feature. I think there would be too much risk of confusion
which approach you are flying and/or how to sequence to a missed
approach hold vs. sequence to a new approach.

I suppose you could enter the waypoints for an approach manually, but
in that case the approach would not arm/activate/annunciate correctly
and thus that would not be desirable.

There is a work-around for storing multiple approaches of different types in
the 430.

It involves storing each approach at the end of separate flight plans.

So if, for instance, you wanted to store both the GPS05 and GPS23 approaches
at KSHN, you would store two separate flight plans, both to KSHN. One would
have the GPS05 approach appended on the end, and the other would have the
GPS23 appended to the end.

I am not sure, however, if this method would reduce much button pushing and
knob twisting.
