Garmin 430 rquestion- does the approach always have to be activated via "activate approach"?
So you are f lying along, direct KABC. You have loaded an approach and
selected an IAF. How do you expect the box to know when to switch from having the TO Waypoint being the airport to having it be the IAF? Activating a loaded approach is really a trivial action. PROC, ENTER. Not exactly programming. "Terence Wilson" wrote in message ... 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? |
