5.1 APPROACHES, DEPARTURES, AND
ARRIVALS
The GPS 400 allows the pilot to fly non-precision and
precision approaches to airports with published instrument
approach procedures. All available approaches are stored
on the Jeppesen NavData Card, and are automatically
updated when the new card is inserted into the GPS 400.
Subscription information for NavData cards is included in
the GPS 400 package.
The Procedures Page (Figure 5-1) is displayed by
pressing the
PROC
Key. The Procedures Page provides
direct access to approaches, departures, and arrivals,
based upon the active flight plan or direct-to destination.
In either case, the departure and destination airports must
have published procedures associated with them.
Selecting an approach, departure, or
arrival:
1) Press the
PROC
Key to display the Procedures
Page.
2) Turn the large
right
knob to highlight ‘Select
Approach?’, ‘Select Departure?’, or ‘Select
Arrival?’ (Figure 5-1) and press the
ENT
Key.

knob to highlight the desired procedure
and press the
ENT
Key. (When a direct-to
destination is selected, departures are offered
for the nearest airport.)

4) A second window appears listing the available
transitions (Figure 5-3). Turn the large

Key. The approach
‘Vectors’ option assumes the pilot will receive
vectors to the final course segment of the
approach and will provide navigation guidance
relative to the final approach course.
