Approach
Active
Operation
Approach Active Operation begins when you cross the
Final Approach Fix (FAF) inbound if an approach
has been loaded and enabled, the FAF is the active
waypoint, and there are no system-detected reasons
not to continue the approach (see Message Mode
starting on page 1 ). The Approach Active
annunciator is illuminated for Approach Active. The
CDI sensitivity is 0.3 nm for approach active.
Approach active is always preceded by Approach
Transition.
As soon as you cross the FAF, the Approach Active
annunciator will come on solid indicating that the
Apollo GX is providing approach guidance. The
active flight plan sequences and the Missed Approach
Point (MAP) becomes the active waypoint.
Sequencing is now automatically suspended and the
OBS/HLD annunciator will be on.
Note
Anytime the Apollo GX is in Approach
Active Operations, the approach may be
canceled by pressing the OBS/HLD key.
