Why aren’t there any approaches avail-
able for my flight plan?
Approaches are available for the fi nal destination
airport in a fl ight plan or as a direct-to (keep in mind
that some VOR/VORTAC identifi ers are similar to air-
port identifi ers). If a destination airport does not have a
GPS approach, the GNS 430 will
indicate “NONE” for the available procedures—as
listed on the airport approach page. For more informa-
tion on selecting an approach, see page 66.

TROUBLE-
SHOOTING
What happens when I select an approach? Can I store a flight plan with an approach, departure or arrival?
Whenever you load an approach, departure or arrival into the active fl ight plan, a set of approach,
departure or arrival waypoints is inserted into the fl ight plan—along with a header line describing the
instrument procedure you selected. The original en route portion of the fl ight plan will remain active,
unless you “Activate” the instrument procedure; which may be done when the procedure is loaded or at
a later time.
Flight plans can also be stored with an approach, departure or arrival. Keep in mind that the active
fl ight plan is erased when the unit is turned off and overwritten when another fl ight plan is activated.
When storing fl ight plans with an approach, departure or arrival, the GNS 430 will use the waypoint in-
formation from the current database to defi ne the waypoints. If the database is changed or updated, the
GNS 430 will automatically update the information if the procedure has not been modifi ed. If an approach, departure or arrival procedure is no longer
available, the fl ight plan will become locked until the procedure is deleted from the fl ight plan or the correct database is installed. For information on
loading an approach, departure or arrival, see page 66. See page 57 for instructions on saving and copying fl ight plans.
Can I file slant Golf (“/G”) using my GPS?
Yes, you may file your flight plan as /G if your GNS 430 is a certified A1 or A2 installation. If you are flying en route, you may file /G with an
expired database only after you have verified all route waypoints. Non-precision approaches may not be flown with an expired database. See your
approved Airplane Flight Manual Supplement for more information.
