Section 5
Approaches, Departures & Arrivals
The GNS 430 allows you to fl y non-precision and precision approaches to airports
with published 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 NavData cards is included in your GNS 430
package.
The procedures page (shown at top left) is displayed by pressing the P key. The
procedures page provides direct access to approaches, departures and arrivals—based
upon the active fl ight 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 P key to display the procedures page.
2. Rotate the large right knob ( d ) to highlight “Select Approach?”, “Select Departure?” or “Select
Arrival?” and press E .
3. A window will appear listing the available procedures. Rotate the large right knob ( d ) to
highlight the desired procedure and press E . (When a direct-to destination is selected,
departures are offered for the nearest airport.)
4. A second window will appear listing the available transitions. Rotate the large right knob ( d )
to highlight the desired transition waypoint and press E . (The approach “Vectors” option
assumes you will receive vectors to the final course segment of the approach and will provide
navigation guidance relative to the final approach course.)
5. Rotate the large right knob ( d ) to highlight “Load?” or “Activate?” (approaches only) and
press E . (“Load?” will add 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.)
6. For precision approaches and some non-precision approaches, a reminder window will appear
indicating that GPS guidance on such approaches is strictly for monitoring only — use the
VLOC receivers and external CDI (or HSI) for primary navigation. To confirm this reminder,
highlight “Yes?” and press E .
