Points to Remember for ALL Approaches
• The500W-seriesunitisdesignedtocomplement
your printed approach plates and vastly improve
situational awareness throughout the approach.
However, you must always fly an approach as it appears
on the approach plate.
• Theactiveleg (or the portion of the approach cur-
rently in use) is depicted in magenta on the Map
Page. As you fly the approach, the 500W-series
unit automatically sequences through each leg of
the approach unless “SUSP” appears above the
OBS key. “SUSP” indicates that automatic sequenc-
ing of approach waypoints is suspended on the
current leg and normally appears at holding pat-
terns and upon crossing the missed approach point
(MAP).
“SUSP” indicates that automatic sequencing
of approach waypoints is suspended. In some
instances “SUSP” automatically cancels (hold-
ing pattern entry). In other cases, press OBS to
manually cancel.
• Forrollsteering autopilots: roll steering is terminated
when approach mode is selected on the autopilot and
is available once the missed approach is initiated.
