 NOTE:  If a user waypoint with the same name already exists in the 500W and is more than 10 meters from the imported user waypoint, the imported user waypoint will be automatically renamed by adding a digit (0-9) to the end of the waypoint’s name. Also, a message will appear to inform the user that a waypoint has been renamed. 
 NOTE:   Flight plan  files that contain only user waypoints 
(with no flight plan route) may be transferred. In this  case, only the user waypoints will be transferred and no flight plans will be modified. A message will appear to indicate this. 
6.   Once all flight plans have been loaded, power 
off the unit. 
7.   Remove the Flight Plan Card from the right card 
slot and place the Terrain Card back into the 
empty card slot. 
 NOTE:  The Flight Plan Card is only to be used on the 
ground. It must be removed prior to flight. 
8.   Apply power to the unit. 
9.   To activate a newly transferred flight plan, refer

Section 5 - Procedures -  
Approaches , Departures,   & Arrivals
The 500W-series unit allows you to fly non-preci-
sion and precision approaches to airports with pub-
lished instrument approach procedures. All available 
approaches are stored on your Jeppesen NavData
® card, 
and are automatically updated when you replace the 
card with a new one. Subscription information for Nav
-
Data cards is included in your 500W-series package. 
The Procedures Page is displayed by pressing the 
PROC key. The Procedures Page provides direct access 
to approaches, departures and arrivals — based upon 
the active flight plan or direct-to destination. In either 
case, the departure and destination airports must have 
published procedures associated with them. 
To select an approach, departure or arrival: 
1.   Press the PROC key to display the Procedures 
Page. 
Press the PROC key to display the Procedures Page. Options are 
available to select published approaches, arrivals (STARs) and  departures (DPs or SIDs). 
2.  Turn the large right knob to highlight “Select 
Approach?”, “Select Departure?” or “Select 
Arrival?” and press ENT. 
3.  A window appears listing the available proce-
dures. Turn  the  large right knob to highlight 
the desired procedure and press ENT. (When 
a direct-to destination is selected, departures  are offered for the nearest airport.) 
4.
  A second window appears listing the avail-
able transitions. Turn the large right knob to 
highlight the desired transition waypoint and 
press  ENT. (The approach “Vectors” option 
assumes you will receive vectors to the final 
course segment of the approach and will pro-
vide navigation guidance relative to the final 
approach course.) 
You can select a transition waypoint for an approach, or 
choose “VECTORS” to provide navigation guidance to the final  approach course. 
5.  Turn the large right knob to highlight 
“Load?” or “Activate?” (approaches only) 
and press ENT. “Load?” adds the procedure 
to the flight plan without immediately using 
it for navigation guidance. This allows you to 
continue navigating the original flight plan, 
but keeps the procedure available on the 
Active Flight Plan Page for quick activation 
when needed to later activate a departure or 
arrival. 
6.   For VLOC-based precision approaches and 
some non-precision approaches, a reminder 
window appears indicating that GPS guidance 
on such approaches is strictly for monitoring 
only — use the VLOC receiver and external CDI 
(or HSI) for primary navigation. To confirm this 
reminder, highlight “Yes?” and press ENT.

Not all approaches in the database are approved for 
GPS use. As you select an approach, a “GPS” designa
-
tion to the right of the procedure name indicates the 
procedure can be flown using the GPS receiver. Some 
procedures do not have this designation, meaning that 
the GPS receiver may be used for supplemental naviga
-
tion guidance only. ILS approaches, for example, must 
be flown by tuning the VLOC receiver to the proper 
frequency and coupling the VLOC receiver to the 
external CDI (or HSI). 
Once an approach is selected, it may be activated 
for navigation from the Procedures Page. Activating the 
approach overrides the “en route” portion of the active 
flight plan, proceeding directly to the “approach” 
portion (for a full approach, directly to the initial 
approach fix). 
To activate an approach (which was previously 
loaded): 
When an approach is “Loaded”, it is added 
to the end of the active flight plan. Prior to  reaching the approach course, select “Acti-
vate Approach?” to begin navigation along  the approach course. 
1. Press the PROC key to display the Procedures 
Page. 
2.  Turn the large right knob to highlight “Acti-
vate Approach?” and press ENT. 
Another Procedures Page option allows you to 
activate the final course segment of the approach. This 
option assumes you will receive vectors to the final 
approach course and guides you to intercept the final 
course, before reaching the FAF. 
To activate the (previously loaded) approach, with 
vectors to final: 
With the full approach “Loaded”, select 
“Activate Vectors-To-Final?” to provide 
navigation guidance along the final approach  course segment only. 
1. Press the PROC key to display the Procedures 
Page. 
2.  Turn the large right knob to highlight “Acti-
vate Vectors-To-Final?” and press ENT. 
In many cases, it may be easiest to “Load” the full 
approach while still some distance away, en route to 
the destination airport. Later, if vectored to final, use 
the steps above to select “Activate Vectors-To-Final” 
— which makes the inbound course to the FAF 
waypoint active. Otherwise, activate the full approach 
using the “Activate Approach?” option. 
If you reactivate the approach currently being 
flown using the PROC key, prior to reaching the MAP 
a Restart Approach confirmation window appears on 
the screen. If you have passed the MAP, the 500W-
series unit proceeds to the transition waypoint without 
a restart confirmation.

Basic Approach Operations
The 500W series provides precision vertical guid-
ance and non-precision advisory guidance using its 
built in GPS receiver. The moving map pages can also 
be used as a supplemental aid to situational awareness 
for ILS, VOR, and NDB approaches (and non-preci
-
sion localizer-based approaches), but the appropriate 
navigational aid MUST be used for primary approach 
course guidance. 
Approaches designed specifically for GPS are often 
very simple and don’t require overflying a VOR or 
NDB. Currently, many non-precision approaches have 
“GPS overlays” to let you fly an existing procedure 
(VOR, VOR/DME, NDB, RNAV, etc.) more accurately 
using GPS. To date, there are over 2,400 GPS-only 
approaches and over 2,900 GPS overlay approaches 
worldwide. 
Many overlay approaches are more complex (in 
comparison to GPS-only approaches). The 500W-
series unit displays and guides you through each leg 
of the approach — automatically sequencing through 
each of these legs, up to the missed approach point 
(MAP). Approaches may be flown “as published” with 
the full transition — using any published feeder route 
or initial approach fix (IAF) — or may be flown with a 
vectors-to-final transition. 
Flight mode annunciations are provided in the 
lower left corner of the display indicating the current 
mode of flight. 
Annunciation Description
LPVLocalizer Performance with Vertical guidance 
(LPV) approach.  Fly to LPV minimums. A yel-
low background indicates that the approach 
is safe to continue but a downgrade to LNAV 
may occur. 
LP Localizer Performance with no vertical guid-
ance. Fly to LP minimums. 
SW V 3.30, or later. 
LP +V LP +V indicates Localizer Performance with 
advisory vertical guidance. Fly LP minimums 
down to the MDA and missed approach loca-
tion. This annunciation is available in SW Ver 
5.10, or later.. 
L/VNAV Lateral Navigation and Vertical Navigation 
(LNAV/VNAV) approach.  Fly to LNAV/VNAV 
minimums. 
LNAV+V GPS approach using published LNAV minima. 
Advisory vertical guidance is provided. 
LNAV Lateral Navigation approach.  Fly to LNAV 
minimums. 
MAPR Missed Approach indicates the system is 
providing missed approach integrity and CDI 
full-scale deflection ±0.3 NM. 
ENR En route, CDI full-scale deflection is 2.0 NM 
or current CDI scale selection, whichever is 
smaller. 
TERM Terminal, CDI full-scale deflection is 1.0 NM 
or current CDI scale selection, whichever is 
smaller. 
DPRT Departure, indicates the system is using non-
precision approach integrity. HAL = 0.3 and 
CDI full-scale deflection is 0.3 NM. 
OCN Oceanic, CDI full-scale deflection is 2.0 NM. 
LOW ALT
(lower window) For LNAV+V, LNAV/VNAV,
 or LPV approaches, 
the LOW ALT annunciation indicates the 
aircraft’s estimated height is lower than the 
Final Approach Waypoint height by more than 
the current VPL plus 50 meters. This annuncia-
tion will not be active when TAWS or Terrain 
is operational.

Approach operations on the 500W-series units 
typically begin with the same basic steps: 
Basic Steps for Using Approaches
DO NOT USE FOR   NAVIGATION
1.  Select the destination airport using the direct-
to key, or as the last waypoint in the active 
flight plan. 
2.   Choose the “Select Approach?” option from 
the Procedures Page or from the Active Flight 
Plan Options. 
3.   “Load” the approach (often while en route) in 
anticipation of its future use. This places the 
approach in the active flight plan, but retains 
course guidance in the en route section until 
the approach is “Activated”. 
4.  “Activate” the full approach or vectors-to-final, 
as appropriate. In some scenarios, you may find 
it more convenient to immediately activate 
the approach and skip the “Load” process 
outlined above in step #3. The 500W-series 
units provide both options. 
Approaches with Procedure Turns
The procedure turn portion of an approach is 
stored as one of the legs of the approach. For this 
reason, the 500W-series unit requires no special opera
-
tions from the pilot — other than flying the procedure 
turn itself — beyond what is required for any other 
type of approach. Roll steering is provided to aircraft 
with compatible autopilots.

This example uses the VOR or GPS Runway 04 
approach for Lynchburg (Virginia) Regional Airport, 
KLYH, and assumes a departure from Frederick (Mary
-
land) Municipal Airport, KFDK. The steps required to 
set up and fly the approach are detailed below: 
Procedure Turn Approach

190-00357-00 Rev K  
						

							87
1.  Prior to departing KFDK, the destination (KLYH) 
is selected using the direct-to key or by cre-
ating a flight plan terminating at Lynchburg 
Regional. 
2.   While en route to KLYH, some 40-50 NM 
away, you select the ATIS frequency to moni-
tor airport conditions and runway usage. This 
is accomplished by displaying the NAVCOM 
Page and selecting the ATIS frequency from 
the list. This places the frequency on standby. 
Use the COM flip-flop  key to make the ATIS 
frequency active. 
3.   From ATIS you learn that runway 04 is in use 
and plan your approach accordingly. Press 
the  PROC key and select the “VOR 04-GPS” 
approach. From the transitions window, select 
LYH VOR (the IAF). Also, select “Load?” to load 
(but not activate) the approach. 
Press PROC, highlight “Select Approach?” and press ENT. From  the pop-up window, select the “VOR 04” approach into KLYH. 
A second pop-up window displays available transitions. High-
light LYH VOR and press ENT. Finally, select “Load?” to add the  approach to the active flight plan. 
4.  If you are cleared direct to the IAF, press the 
PROC key, select “Activate Approach?” and 
press ENT.
Flying the Procedure Turn
1.  Within 31 NM of the destination airport, or 
when transitioning to the first waypoint of 
an arrival procedure, the 500W-series unit 
switches from “en route” mode to “terminal” 
mode (as indicated in the lower left corner of 
the screen). The switch to terminal mode is 
accompanied by a gradual Course Deviation 
Indicator (CDI) scale transition from 2.0 to 
1.0 NM, full scale deflection.

2.    Several miles prior to reaching the IAF (LYH), 
you may wish to review the approach sequence. 
Press the FPL key to display the Active Flight 
Plan Page. Press the small right knob and turn 
the  large right knob to review each segment 
of the approach. When finished, press FPL  
again to return to the previous page. 
3.    As you approach the IAF (LYH), a waypoint 
alert (“Next DTK 205° in x sec”) appears in 
the lower right corner of the screen. As the 
distance (DIS) to the IAF approaches zero, the 
alert is replaced by a turn advisory (“Left to 
205° in x sec”). Dial the outbound course of 
205° into the CDI (or HSI) using the OBS knob 
and initiate a standard rate turn to this course 
heading. 
As you approach the IAF, the “Left to 209° in x sec” waypoint 
alert appears in the lower right corner. Prepare to turn to this  heading. 
4.  Fly the outbound course, keeping the CDI 
needle centered. 
5.  Once you have flown approximately one minute 
past the IAF (LYH), the alert message “Left to 
160° in x sec” appears in the lower right corner 
of the screen. The unit will sequence to the 
inbound leg when established inbound. 
 NOTE: You may manually perform any type of proce-
dure turn in accordance with the AIM and the charted 
procedure. However, the unit displays a map of, and provides roll steering for, a 45/180 procedure turn. If you manually complete the entire procedure turn prior to the unit’s initial outbound turn alert, software versions prior to 3.20 may sequence to the inbound leg but enter SUSP mode. In that case,  press the OBS key to resume automatic sequencing.

At approximately one minute past the IAF, an alert message 
(“Left to 160° in x sec”) reminds you to begin the procedure  turn. 
6.  Turn left to a heading of 160° to initiate the 
procedure turn. Course guidance is provided 
relative to the outbound leg from the FAF. (The 
procedure turn is displayed on the Map Page 
and indicated as the active leg on the Default 
NAV and Active Flight Plan pages.) The CDI 
needle starts moving to the right.

7.
  After approximately one minute, make a 180° 
right turn to a heading of 340° to intercept 
the inbound course. The 500W-series unit 
sequences to the inbound leg to the FAF, the  CDI needle swings to the opposite side to 
provide proper sensing along the final course 
segment and “Next DTK 025°” appears in the 
lower right corner of the screen. 
8.   As the CDI needle starts to center, make a right 
turn to 025° — the final approach course. 
Procedure turn, inbound. The CDI needle swings to the oppo-
site side for proper sensing and “Next DTK 025° now” appears.  Turn to the new heading as the needle begins to center. 
9.  When within 45° of the final approach 
course and the FAF is the TO waypoint, the 
500W-series unit switches from terminal mode 
to “approach” mode. CDI scaling is tightened 
from 1.0 NM full scale deflection to either 
0.3 NM or 2° full scale deflection whichever is 
less at the FAF. The change occurs over 2 NM 
and is completed by the FAF. 
10.  As you approach the FAF, a waypoint alert in 
the lower right corner (“Next DTK 026° in x 
sec”) appears. Make any course adjustments 
necessary for the final course segment (FAF to 
MAP). 
11.   As you cross the FAF, the destination sequences 
to the MAP (“RW04”, the runway threshold). 
With the needle centered, fly toward the MAP, 
observing the altitude minimums dictated by 
the approach plate.

As you cross the FAF, the 500W-series unit automatically 
sequences to the final course segment, which appears in  magenta on the Map Page. 
12.  As you approach the MAP, a waypoint alert 
(“Arriving at waypoint”) appears in the lower 
right corner. CDI scaling continues to tighten 
from 0.3 NM to 350 feet, full-scale deflec-
tion. 
13.   As you cross the MAP, “SUSP” appears 
above the OBS key, indicating that automatic 
sequencing of approach waypoints is sus-
pended at the MAP. A “from” indication is 
displayed on the CDI and Default NAV Page, 
but course guidance along the final approach 
course continues. If a missed approach is 
required, use the  OBS key to initiate the missed 
approach sequence, as outlined on the follow-
ing page. 
 NOTE:  Once you cross the FAF, the Map Page displays  the final course segment in magenta (the active leg of the flight plan always appears in magenta) and a dashed line extends the course beyond the missed approach point (MAP). The dashed line is provided for situational awareness only and should NOT be used for navigation. Please, follow the published missed approach procedures. 
As you cross the missed approach point, “SUSP” appears on- screen above the OBS key.
