3. As you approach your selected inbound course, your CDI will begin

to center to indicate when you intercept the selected inbound leg. As
you intercept your inbound course, transition to the CDI as your
primary navigation display.

Point C (Inbound between D1850 and CF005)

1. As you become established inbound, return the Apollo NMS display

to the primary navigation page and reenable flight plan sequencing.
Press NAV twice or turn the Large knob until you display your
primary NAV page.

2. Press OBS/HLD to reenable flight plan sequencing, if you

suspended it prior to activating the inbound leg.

Point D (Between CF005 to FF005)

1. Note that the flight plan waypoints used as step-down fixes are

depicted on the Jeppesen Approach Plate, but not on the NOS charts.

2. If you are using an NOS chart, you must identify the waypoints on

the chart by looking at the distances between them on the vertical
profile. You may want to view the Arc Assist page to show your
distance relative to LJT.
