EXAMPLE 4— RADAR VECTORS TO FINAL APPROACH COURSE

Example 4 uses the same VOR/DME RWY 21 approach into Topeka/Forbes Field

Airport (KFOE) used in example 3 and illustrates an approach using radar vectors to
a point 3 miles out from the final approach fix. To fly a radar vector approach, you
must still select a desired approach and IAF from the database and set the GPS SEQ
switch to HOLD while you fly the vectors to the active approach waypoint. To
accommodate radar vectors, the GPS 155 allows manual selection of any approach
waypoint as the destination waypoint.

1. Select and arm the desired approach and initial approach fix. Enter the current altimeter

setting of the destination airport when the ‘Need pres- press NAV’ message appears.

2. When you are advised by the controller that you will be receiving radar vectors to the final

approach course:

• Activate the final approach fix waypoint from the Active Route page:

a. Press the

R key and rotate O until the Active Route page appears.

b. Press

C to activate the flashing cursor.

c. Rotate

O until the ‘ff’ (FAF) waypoint flashes.

d. Press

D, followed by E.

• Set the GPS SEQ switch to the HOLD position.

3. Set the 200º inbound course on the HSI. As the CDI needle begins to center to the final

approach course, set the GPS SEQ switch to the AUTO position to resume automatic way-
point sequencing.

4. Complete the approach by landing or perform the missed approach procedure.
