To later Activate it, select the V3NM leg and choose Activate Leg (don’t go direct to RW31 or you will lose the glideslope). In general, with a flight plan you can either Load or Activate it.
Visual Approaches now available in the GTN 750 Otherwise it will offer to Load and Activate but that will wipe out the first one.įigure 4. Only then does it let you Load a second approach. It turns out you can only add the second approach if the first one is active, and if you are on its missed approach. Again, these approach legs are all added at the end of the flight plan, so you’ll have to jump ahead to fly these legs. This is shown in Fig 3, where you can see in the plan, the end of the old approach and the first leg to FSHER of the new one. So, in this case, you can stay in the hold at ADANE and plan your exit and route to the new approach. Here, you can have two procedures in the plan. In other navigators, if you add a procedure the old one goes away. When you choose the RNAV approach with the FSHER iaf and Load it, it is added to the end of your plan, after ADANE, which is not eliminated by this step! In other words, you added a procedure and did not wipe out the last one (ADANE is part of the previous approach). Go to the flight plan (Fig 2, picture 3) and select 1V6, then Load Procedures. Add the ILS 35L (3), which ends in a hold at ADANE (4). Add an approach to KCOS by touching that tile (2) in the active plan, then selecting Load Procedures. Here is a round robin flight for practice approaches (1). You could also activate one of the early legs.įig 2. But since these legs come at the end of the plan you generally want to skip ahead (in your flight list) to fly them, which you could also do by using the D-> button for any waypoint, or Activate the Approach for the specific iaf. An approach is always “active” in the sense that when you come to it while sequencing through the legs of your flight plan it will be flown in that order. Remember, “Activate the Approach” simply means go direct to the iaf chosen for the approach – nothing more. Now, your active plan shows you going D-> PUB with the approach legs following. You can’t load this into a nonexistent flight plan, so your only choice is to Load and Activate it. On the ground at KPUB, select the PROC function from the home page and enter KCOS for the airport, and the ILS 35L with a PUB transition for the approach (see Fig 1). [Note that all earlier Tips are available on my website Here we’ll do a flight from Pueblo Colorado (KPUB) to Colorado Springs (KCOS), then to Freemont County (1V6) before returning home to Pueblo.īut first, let me point out that you can make a flight plan consisting only of the legs of an approach (no Enroute portion), which you might do to practice an approach to a nearby airport. In an earlier Tip (#13) on “Practice Approaches” the difficulties of transitioning from one airport to the next were described using a GNS 530.

The current software in the GTN 750 (v6.4.1) includes features that make such practice flights more user friendly and, in fact, unique among the GPS navigators of today. A common practice to maintain IFR currency is to do a round-robin flight including approaches at a couple of airports, and then returning for an approach at home.
