Avidyne recommends that you set the Altitude Bug to the published
approach decision altitude to serve as a visual reference during the
approach.
Using the Radar Altimeter
If your aircraft is equipped with a radar altimeter, you can set the
decision height on the radar altimeter using the DH Alert button,
described in detail in
Right Buttons and Knob
, on page 19.
Non-Precision Approaches
The EXP5000 is also designed to aid in the flying of non-precision
approaches. Once the published approach has been activated in the
Navigator system, the inbound course on the EXP5000 will be
automatically set to match the inbound course of the published
approach.
Flying an Autopilot-Coupled Non-Precision Approach
A recommended technique when performing an autopilot-coupled
non-precision approach is:
1)
Select the HDG, NAV and ALT buttons on the autopilot while still
outside the Final Approach Fix (FAF).
2)
Prior to reaching the FAF, if present, set the desired VS descent
rate:
■
Use the EXP5000 HDG Bug to set the desired heading for
climbout/missed approach.
■
Use the EXP5000 Alt Bug to set the desired intermediate
level off altitude or the minimum descent altitude (MDA) as a
visual reminder.
3)
After crossing the FAF, select VS mode on the autopilot.
Note:
For maximum situational awareness during all types of precision and
non-precision instrument approaches, always select and activate the
approach in the Navigator. This will enable the EXP5000 to display the
approach waypoints on its moving map.
Note
: Upon reaching the Final Approach Fix (FAF), ensure that the correct
baro setting is entered in both the EXP5000 and standby altimeter. Also
verify that the EXP5000 and standby altimeter indicate the same altitude.
