iQue 3600a Que Applications Guide 33
Understanding Vectors
The Vectors window that appears at the last step
of selecting an approach determines how you will
navigate to the final waypoint in the approach.
If you select Yes, the iQue 3600a creates an extension
of the final course beyond the final approach waypoint
in the database, called the final approach fix (FAF).
The iQue 3600a provides no guidance to the inbound
course. The course deviation needle on the graphic
HSI remains off-center until you are established
on this final approach course. QueMap displays an
extension of the final approach course using a bold
magenta line. The HSI automatically slews (rotates
to show the direction) to the inbound course. On the
Active Route (or Active Approach) page, a Vector to
Final symbol appears adjacent to the first approach
waypoint.
If you select No on the Vectors window, the iQue
3600a creates a straight-line course directly to the
first waypoint in the approach (from wherever you are
when you initiate the approach). This works much like
any other route with guidance from point-to-point and
a turn usually required as you cross each waypoint.
NOTE: Steep Turns are not allowed on an IFR
(Instrument Flight Rules) approach. Follow plate
or air traffic control instructions to complete the
approach without a steep turn.
If air traffic controls clears your approach to an
airport, loading the approach replaces your Direct To
with a route to the FAF. Load the approach only when
cleared by air traffic control.
