Tuning the VLOC when an approach is active

When selecting a VOR or ILS approach, manual

tuning of the VLOC receiver is not required. Once the
approach procedure is ‘Loaded’ or ‘Activated’, the GNS
530 automatically places the proper frequency in the
standby field of the VLOC Window. To use this frequency,
press the VLOC Flip-flop Key to activate the frequency.
Additional information on approach procedures is
provided in Section 6.1.

To select an approach and automatically
tune the proper VLOC frequency:

1) Select the destination airport using the Direct-

to Key or as the last waypoint in the active
flight plan.

2) Press the PROC Key to display the Procedures

Page.

3) Turn the large right knob to highlight ‘Select

Approach?’ and press the ENT Key (Figure
9-6).

4) A window appears listing the available

procedures. Turn the small right knob to
highlight the desired procedure and press the
ENT Key. (When a direct-to destination is
selected, departures are offered for the nearest
airport.)

5) A second window appears listing available

transitions. Turn the small right knob to
highlight the desired transition waypoint and
press the ENT Key. (The approach ‘Vectors’
option assumes the pilot will receive vectors to
the final course segment of the approach and
will provide navigation guidance to intercept
this final course.)
