5. Transition to Active Approach Phase
The approach will automatically transition to the active approach stage and
the GPS APPR annunciator will indicate an ‘ACTV’ status if the following
conditions are met:
a. The approach is armed
b. The aircraft is 2 nm from the FAF on an inbound course
c. The GPS SEQ switch is set to the ‘AUTO’ position
d. The FAF is the active-to waypoint
e. The GNC 300 confirms that integrity monitoring will be available to
complete the approach
Once the active approach phase begins, the CDI scale will begin to gradu-
ally transition from the 1.0 nm scale to the 0.3 nm scale, and remain at the
0.3 nm scale from the FAF to the MAP unless the approach is cancelled by
pressing the external GPS APR switch, setting the GPS SEQ switch to
‘HOLD’ or by initiating a direct-to operation.
WARNING: You are not authorized to fly the final portion of the approach
unless the external GPS APR annunciator indicates an ‘ACTV’ status.
6. Missed Approach Procedure
The GNC 300’s automatic waypoint sequencing stops at the missed
approach point. Once you have crossed the MAP, the GNC 300 will give
you the option of flying direct to the missed approach holding point:
a. Press the GPS APR switch to return the CDI to the 1.0 nm scale.
b. AFTER crossing the MAP, press
D
, followed by
E
to fly directly to
the missed approach holding point.
WARNING! A direct course to the missed approach holding point may not
correspond to the published missed approach procedure. Always fly all
published procedures before selecting the holding fix on the GPS.

Typical Approach
Procedures
TSO C-129 requires that satellite coverage and
navigational accuracy provided by the GPS sys-
tem meet minimum standards.
A ‘No RAIM from FAF to MAP’ message will
appear if RAIM is predicted to be unavailable for
an approach. If you receive a RAIM message, con-
tinue the approach ONLY if the ACTV annuncia-
tor remains illuminated to the MAP. If the ACTV
annunciator does not stay illuminated, your HSI
NAV flag will appear, and you must fly the missed
approach procedure.
GPS approaches must be in the current aviation
database to be approved.
