Flying a Flight Plan / GPS Course
1) The aircraft is currently tracking inbound on the
116 degree radial of Panoche VORTAC. Enter
Panoche VORTAC (PXN) and Clovis VORTAC
(CZQ) into the GPS flight plan, in preparation
to intercept this leg.
2) With the flight plan activated, press the
CDI
Softkey to set the CDI to GPS. This cancels VOR
Mode, and the autopilot loses the VOR signal.
As a result, the VOR annunciation flashes
yellow and the autopilot reverts to default Roll
Hold (ROL) Mode.
Flashes for ten seconds, then transitions to ROL..

3) Now, press the
NAV
Key to reactivate the
autopilot using GPS guidance. At this moment,
the autopilot couples to GPS guidance and
steers the aircraft toward the active flight plan
leg.
Once the flight plan leg is intercepted, the
autopilot continues to track GPS guidance to
the end of the flight plan.
