altitude restrictions in accordance with the LNAV or
LP approach procedure.
When conducting instrument approaches referenced to true North, the
NAV Angle on the AUX-Units/Position page must be set to
True
.
The navigation equipment required to join and fly an instrument
approach procedure is indicated by the title of the procedure and
notes on the IAP chart. Navigating the final approach segment (that
segment from the final approach fix to the missed approach point) of
an ILS, LOC, LOC-BC, LDA, SDF, MLS, VOR, TACAN approach,
or any other type of approach not approved for GPS, is not authorized
with GPS navigation guidance. GPS guidance can only be used for
approach procedures with GPS or RNAV in the procedure title. When
using the Garmin VOR/LOC/GS receivers to fly the final approach
segment, VOR/LOC/GS navigation data must be selected and
presented on the CDI of the pilot flying.
Not all published Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP) are in the
navigation database. Flight crews planning to fly an RNAV
instrument approach must ensure that the navigation database
contains the planned RNAV Instrument Approach Procedure and that
approach procedure must be loaded from the navigation database into
the GNS system flight plan by its name. Users are prohibited from
flying any approach path that contains manually entered waypoints.
IFR approaches are prohibited whenever any physical or visual
obstruction (such as a throw-over yoke) restricts pilot view or access
to the GNS and/or the CDI.
2.7
Autopilot Coupling
IFR installations of a Garmin 5XXW Series unit allow the operator to fly all
phases of flight based on the navigation information presented to the pilot;
however, not all modes may be coupled to the autopilot. All autopilots may be
coupled in Oceanic (OCN), Enroute (ENR), and Terminal (TERM) modes;
however, the FAA requires that vertical coupling of an autopilot for approaches
be demonstrated to meet their intended function and provide safe and proper
operation to published minimums. This installation is limited to:
Lateral coupling only for GPS approaches. Coupling to the vertical path for
GPS approaches is not authorized.
2.8
Terrain Proximity Function (All Units)
Terrain and obstacle information appears on the map and terrain display pages
as red and yellow tiles or towers, and is depicted for advisory use only. Aircraft
maneuvers and navigation must not be predicated upon the use of the terrain
display. Terrain and obstacle information is advisory only and is not equivalent
to warnings provided by TAWS.
