9)With ‘LOAD?’ highlighted, press the ENT Key. If a flight plan is active, the selected arrival procedure is inserted after the destination airport and becomes part of the active flight plan. If no flight plan is active when the arrival is loaded, the arrival procedure becomes the active flight plan.

9.2Approaches

NOTE: If certain GPS parameters (WAAS, RAIM, etc.) are not available, some published approach procedures for the desired airport may not be displayed in the list of available approaches.

Not all approaches in the database are approved for GPS use. When selecting an approach, a “GPS” designation to the right of the procedure name indicates the procedure can be flown using the GPS receiver. Some procedures do not have this designation, meaning the GPS receiver can be used for supplemental navigation guidance only. If the GPS receiver cannot be used for primary guidance, the appropriate navigation receiver must be used for the selected approach (e.g., VOR or ILS). The final course segment of ILS approaches, for example, must be flown by tuning the Nav receiver to the proper frequency and selecting that Nav receiver on the CDI.

The G1000 GPS allows for flying LNAV, LNAV/VNAV (WAAS only), and LPV (WAAS only) approaches according to the published chart. The active appoach type is annunciated on the HSI as shown in the following table:

HSI	Description
Annunciation
LNAV	GPS approach using published
	LNAV minima.
LNAV+V*	GPS approach using published
	LNAV minima. Advisory vertical
	guidance is provided.
L/VNAV*	GPS approach using published
	LNAV/VNAV minima.
LPV*	GPS approach using published
	LPV minima.

* WAAS systems only

Load and/or Activate an Approach Procedure

1)Press the PROC Key.

2)Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight ‘SELECT APPROACH’.

3)Press the ENT Key.

4)If a flight plan is active, the destination airport is displayed as the default. A list of available approaches is also displayed. If no flight plan is active, use the FMS Knobs to enter the identifier of the desired airport. Press the ENT Key.

5)Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the Approach field. Turn the small FMS Knob to display a list of available approaches.

8)The cursor moves to the MINIMUMS field. If desired, the decision altitude for the selected approach procedure may be entered and displayed on the PFD as described in the Barometric Altitude Minimums discussion in the Flight Instruments section. Turn the small FMS Knob in the direction of the green arrow to change the display from OFF to BARO. Press the ENT Key.

6)Turn either FMS Knob to highlight the desired approach. Press the ENT Key.

7)The cursor moves to the TRANSITIONS field. Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the desired transition waypoint and press the ENT Key. (The “Vectors” option assumes vectors will be received to the final course segment of the approach and will provide navigation guidance relative to the final approach course.)

10)Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight ‘Activate?’ and press the ENT Key to activate the approach. Activating the approach initiates a direct-to for IAF and the G1000 immediately begins navigating to the IAF. Selecting ‘Load?’ adds the procedure to the flight plan without immediately using it for navigation guidance.

Activate An Approach in the Active Flight Plan

1)With the Navigation Map Page displayed, press the

PROC Key.

2)Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight ‘ACTIVATE APPROACH’.

3)Press the ENT Key. The approach procedure is now active and a direct-to is initiated to the IAF.
