APPENDIX L: Flight Director/AF-Pilot Procedures flying an Approach
Flying an LPV Approach
The following example shows how to use the EFIS, Garmin 430W and ADVANCED Pilot to fly the KUAO
GPS 35 approach.
In this picture we have selected the RNAV GPS 35 approach on the 430W, selected DUBMY as our Initial
Approach Fix, and activated the approach in the 430W. The AF/FD mode is NAV for Lateral and ARM for
Vertical. This means the AP/FD is following the 430W's lateral GPS course and is holding altitude at the
altitude bug until vertical guidance is provided from the 430W (usually just outside the FAF).
We are currently 2:01 Minutes and 4.6 miles from DUBMY (IAF). From the map screen we have selected
CHART, selected the RNAV 35 approach plate, and then used the knob to scroll the approach plate. The
map screen will remember the current plate and scroll position making it very easy to switch back and forth
from the map screen to the approach plate. From the approach plate we see that we need to be at 3600Ft at
DUBMY and we have set the altitude bug to 3600 ft. Again, the AP/FD mode is NAV for lateral and ARM for
vertical, the AP/FD is following the 430W flight plan for lateral and using the altitude bug for vertical.
