Procedure Turn Approach
Approach operations on the 400W-series will typi-
cally begin with the same basic steps:
Select Destination
“Select” and “Load” the
approach
“Activate” the approach
DO NOT USE FOR
NAVIGATION
1. Select the destination airport using the direct-
to key, or as the last waypoint in the active
flight plan.
2. Choose the “Select Approach?” option from
the procedures page or from the active flight
plan options.
3. “Load” the approach (often while en route) in
anticipation of its future use. This places the
approach in the active flight plan, but retains
course guidance in the en route section until
the approach is “activated”.
4. “Activate” the full approach or vectors-to-final,
as appropriate. In some scenarios, you may find
it more convenient to immediately activate the
approach and skip the “Load” process outlined
above in step #3. The 400W-series provides
both options.
Approaches with Procedure Turns
The procedure turn portion of an approach is
stored as one of the legs of the approach. For this
reason, the 400W-series requires no special operations
from the pilot — other than flying the procedure turn
itself — beyond what is required for any other type of
approach.

KLYH, and assumes a departure from Frederick (Mary-
land)MunicipalAirport,KFDK.Thestepsrequiredto
set up and fly the approach are detailed below:
1. Prior to departing KFDK, the destination (KLYH)
is selected using the direct-to key or by cre-
ating a flight plan terminating at Lynchburg
Regional.
2. While en route to KLYH, some 40-50 NM
away, you select the ATIS frequency to monitor
airport conditions and runway usage. This is
accomplished by selecting the NAVCOM page
and selecting the ATIS frequency from the list.
This places the frequency on standby. Use the
COM flip-flop key to make the ATIS frequency
active.
3. From ATIS you learn that runway 04 is in use
and plan your approach accordingly. Press
the PROC key and select the “VOR 04-GPS”
approach. From the transitions window, select
LYH VOR (the IAF). Also, select “Load?” to load
(but not activate) the approach.
