3.5 APPROACHES
WARNING: The GPSMAP 695/696 is not designed to be independently used
for flight into instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) or other conditions in
which aircraft control is based solely upon flight instruments. The approaches
provided are for monitoring purposes only. Only the final course segment
(final approach fix (FAF) to missed approach point (MAP)) of the published
approach is available for monitoring.
An approach can be loaded at any airport that has one available, and provides
guidance for non-precision and precision approaches to airports with published
instrument approach procedures. Only one approach can be loaded at a time in a
flight plan. If an approach is loaded when another approach is already in the active
flight plan, the new approach replaces the previous approach. Only the final course
segment (Final Approach Fix (FAF) to Missed Approach Point (MAP)) of the published
approach is available for monitoring.
Whenever an approach is selected, the choice to either “Load Approach” or “Activate
Approach” is given. “Load Approach” adds the approach to the end of the flight plan
without immediately using it for navigation guidance. This allows continued navigation
via the intermediate waypoints in the original flight plan, but keeps the procedure
available on the Active Flight Plan Page for quick activation when needed. “Activate
Approach” also adds the procedure to the end of the flight plan but immediately
begins to provide guidance to the first waypoint in the approach.
