ACTIVATING VECTORS-TO-FINAL
After an approach has been activated, the 'Activate Vectors-to-Final' menu option is
used when being vectored to the final approach course by Air Traffic Control (ATC).
When Vectors-to-Final are activated, the aera creates an extension of the final
course, beyond the final approach waypoint in the database (final approach fix [FAF]).
A Vector to Final symbol appears beside the first approach waypoint in the Active Flight
Plan.
Activating/Cancelling Vectors-to-Final:
1)
From the ‘Home’ Screen, touch the Active FPL Icon.
2)
While navigating an Active Flight Plan (with an approach activated), touch
the Menu Icon.
3)
Touch the 'Activate Vectors-to-Final' or 'Cancel Vectors-to-Final'
menu option.

The aera provides no guidance to the inbound course. The course deviation needle
on the graphic HSI remains off-center until established on the final approach course.
The map shows an extension of the final approach course using a bold magenta line.
If Vectors-to-Final are not activated, the aera creates a straight-line course directly to
the first waypoint in the approach.
Loading the approach cancels the Direct-to and initiates a route to the FAF.
