Garmin 430 rquestion- does the approach always have to be activated via "activate approach"?
I believe the only time you can ignore a course reversal is:
* Timed approach from a fix * Coming in on a segment labeled NoPT (such as the typical left or right IAF on a standard "T" GPS approach) * Vectors to Final. Cleared direct to the IF/IAF doesn't necessarily mean you're getting vectors. Maybe, maybe not. I've been cleared to an IF/IAF just to get me in line farther out from the FAF. Shortly before getting to the IF/IAF, I'm given the spiel of "x miles from FAF, maintain y until..." Thump the Vectors to Final button OR just take the GPS out of OBS HOLD mode & on to the FAF you go. If I don't hear the controller tell me I'm getting vectors to final, I will ask. If it turns out I'm not, I've got the full approach already up & running. "Sam Spade" wrote in message ... John Collins wrote: An Intermediate Fix may also be an Initial Approach Fix. A typical example is a T style approach, where both the right base and the left base ends are IAFs and the top center of the T is an IF, but not an IAF. See http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0802/05726R5.PDF There are numerous examples of the top center being both an IF and an IAF. See http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0802/05683R28.PDF When an IF is also an IAF, you can select the IF(IAF) in the select approach dialog. Actually, it is only (and always) when it has a hold-in-lieu course reversal. Next question: If a controller clears you directly to an IF/IAF do you always disregard the hold-in-lieu course reversal and go straight-in? |
