h) Press the ENT Key twice to activate the direct-to.  Note, in Figure 5-124, the magenta arrow indicating the 
direct-to OPSHN after the offset waypoint for OPSHN.  The preceding offset waypoint indicates the offset 
distance and altitude that were previously entered.  The remaining waypoints in the loaded arrival procedure 
have no database specified altitudes, therefore, dashes are displayed.  Keep the CDI centered and maintain a 
track along the magenta line to OPSHN.
 Note the Direct-to waypoint is within the loaded arrival procedure, therefore, phase of flight scaling for the CDI 
changes to Terminal Mode and is annunciated by displaying ‘TERM’ on the HSI.
 NOTE:  If the loaded arrival procedure has waypoints with altitude constraints retrieved from the database 
to be used as is, the altitude must be manually accepted by placing the cursor over the d\
esired altitude, 
then pressing the ENT Key.  The altitude is now displayed as light blue meaning it is used by the sys\
tem to 
determine vertical speed and deviation guidance.

12) The aircraft is proceeding to OPSHN.  The expected approach is the RNAV LPV approach to runway 35R, so it is 
selected.

f) Turn either FMS Knob to select the desired transition.  In this case, the Initial Approach Fix (IAF) at HABUK is 
used.
g) Press the ENT Key.
h) Barometric Minimums
 To set ‘MINIMUMS’, turn the small FMS Knob to select ‘BARO’, and press the ENT Key.  Turn the small    
FMS Knob to select the altitude, and press the ENT Key.
 Or:
 To skip setting minimums, press the ENT Key.

i) With ‘LOAD?’ highlighted, again press the ENT Key.  The selected approach is added to the flight plan as seen 
in Figure 5-129.

13) Note the altitude constraints associated with each of the approach waypoints as seen in Figure 5-130.  These 
altitudes are loaded from the database and are initially displayed as white text, indicating these values are not 
used in computing vertical deviation guidance.  The altitude values must be designated for use by the pilot if 
they are to be used in computing vertical guidance.
a) Press the FMS Knob to activate the cursor.
b) Turn the large FMS Knob to place the cursor in the altitude field associated with the IA\
F at HABUK as in Figure 
5-130.

c) Press the ENT Key.  Note the altitude is now displayed as light blue text, indicating that the value is now used 
in computing vertical guidance.  The G1000 is using baro corrected altitude when giving vertical guidance \
to 
these waypoints.
d) Turn the large FMS Knob to select the altitude constraint associated with FALUR as seen in Figure 5-131.
Figure 5-131  Designate FALUR Altitude Constraint
e) Press the ENT Key to designate this altitude constraint value for use in computing vertical guidance.  This 
altitude value is now displayed as light blue text.  Note that altitude values  are now filled in for waypoints back 
to where the previous altitude value was entered for OPSHN.

   Altitude constraint values associated with the Final Approach Fix (FAF) and waypoints beyond the FAF cannot 
be designated for vertical guidance.  These altitude values are always displayed as white text.  Vertical guidance 
from the FAF and on to the Missed Approach Point (MAP) is given using the WAAS GPS altitude source, therefore, 
the displayed altitude values are for reference only.

14) As the aircraft approaches OPSHN, it may be desirable to adjust the speed, or steepness of the upcoming 
descent.  The default Flight Path Angle (FPA) is -3.0 degrees and a required vertical speed is computed to 
maintain the -3.0 FPA.  To change the vertical flight path, perform the following steps.
a) Select the VNV PROF Softkey to place the cursor in the target vertical speed field (VS TGT) as shown in Figure 
5-133.
b) At this point, the descent vertical speed can be selected, or the FPA can be selected.  Turn the large FMS Knob 
to select the desired selection field, then turn the small FMS Knob to enter the desired value.
   Note the information now displayed in the ‘CURRENT VNV PROFILE’ box.  Also, note the offset waypoint (orange 
box) and gray circle are now displayed on the map.  The gray circle marks the Top of Descent (TOD).  In this 
example, vertical guidance is provided at the TOD that results in a -3.0 degree FPA descent to an altitude of 
10,000 feet upon reaching the offset waypoint.

c) Press the ENT Key.

15) As seen in Figure 5-134, the aircraft is approaching TOD.  Note the target vertical speed required to reached 
the selected altitude.  The Vertical Deviation Indicator (VDI) and the Required Vertical Speed Indicator (RVSI) are 
now displayed on the PFD as shown in Figure 5-135.  When the aircraft is within one minute of the TOD, it is 
annunciated as shown in Figure 5-135, and an aural alert ‘Vertical track’ will be heard.

16) Upon reaching TOD, a descent vertical speed is established by placing the VSI pointer in line with the RVSI as 
shown in Figure 5-136.

17) When the aircraft is one minute from the bottom of descent (BOD) it is annunciated as shown in Figure 5-137.  
Upon reaching the offset waypoint for OPSHN, the aircraft is at 10,000 feet.

18) The aircraft is approaching OPSHN.  The upcoming turn and next heading are annunciated at the top left of the 
PFD as seen in Figure 5-138.  Initiate the turn and maneuver the aircraft on a track through the turn radius to 
intercept the magenta line for the OPSHN to FSHER leg and center the CDI.
