5-13 Navigation 
APPROACH PROCEDURES 
Ensure the approach has been entered into the FMS flight plan, 
and that it is currently active in the IFD. 
Automatic mode switching (e.g. GPS  VLOC transition) 
including automatically setting the inbound course, will occur if 
the capture criteria defined above are met and the primary nav 
frequency can be auto-identified. If auto tuning has not been 
enabled on the setup pages, or a station cannot be identified, 
automatic mode switching will not occur. 
TIPS AND TECHNIQUES 
Exception to Automatic Nav Mode Switching  
If VLOC mode had been previously manually 
selected to be the nav mode (e.g. cross-tuning a 
VOR) and then an approach is activated in the flight 
plan that would have normally resulted in a GPS  
VLOC nav mode indication, the nav mode will NOT 
toggle to GPS  VLOC. Instead, it will stay at 
VLOC since it is assumed the pilot intended to keep 
using the previous function. Likewise, the 
approach nav frequency will be inserted into the #1 
standby nav frequency slot but not the active nav 
frequency position. Both the nav mode transition 
and the swapping of the nav frequencies will have to 
be manually performed by the pilot. 
With the proper inbound course set, including on localizer or ILS 
approaches where the course pointer is just for reference, the 
course and glide slope deviation data will be transmitted as 
appropriate from the IFD for display on compatible cockpit third-
party devices such as CDIs, HSIs, EFISs, etc. In the 
ILS/Localizer case, the CDI deflection will be driven by the 
localizer signal itself, regardless of the course setting.
