Approach

Transition

Operation

(Enabling

Approach)

Approach Transition Operation begins when you

enable an approach that has already been selected

from the database and loaded into the active flight

plan. The Approach annunciator will be on (and the

Approach Active annunciator will be off) to indicate

that your Apollo GX is operating in Approach

Transition. The CDI sensitivity is locked at 1.0 nm

for Approach Transition.

Approach Transition Operation will usually be

preceded by En Route Operations. Approach

Transition will be preceded by Approach Active in the

event of a missed approach or a canceled approach.

Note that there are two methods to enable an

approach.

Enable Approach - Method 1

Press

ENTER when the “Enable Approach?” prompt is

displayed as a message. The message will occur when

an approach is loaded from the database and the

aircraft is 30 nm or less from the destination airport.

This message-prompt is repeated at 3 nm inbound to

9-8
