Overview: Types of paths for contour approach and
departure
The functions for contour approach APPR and departure DEP are
activated with the APPR/DEP key. You can then select the desired
path function with the corresponding soft key:
Approach Departure Function
Straight line with tangential
connection
Straight line perpendicular to a
contour point
Circular arc with tangential
connection
Circular arc with tangential
connection to the contour. Approach
and departure to an auxiliary point
outside the contour on a tangentially
connecting line
