Automatic Arrival Transition
In an aircraft tracking a course inbound to a destination airport, the letters CRS will appear above
the far left soft key when the distance becomes less than 30 miles. When CRS is showing, the autopilot
can be programmed to fly a transition from the enroute arrival course to a selected arrival course set into
the HSI. This is not intended to be
used in an IFR approach but instead
as a convenience for the low time
pilot in arriving at an un-familiar
airport or for the over loaded pilot in
marginal VFR weather.

Flight Systems 5 EFIS Autopilot Installation Manu
To initiate the automatic
arrival mode, press CRS, select the
desired runway course, and click the
APPR button. The autopilot will n
fly the entire arrival path to the
desired runway. An additional
feature of the automatic arrival mode
can be used to position the aircraft
according to the desired right or left
hand pattern. After setting the
inbound course press enter instead of
APPR to remain in track mode. Once the desired aircraft position is established, press CRS then APPR to
initiate the automatic arrival. This procedure works regardless of the direction of the inbound course and
that of the selected approach course to the airport.
