Approach Basics (GX50/60) The Apollo GX50/60 may be used to navigate GPS non-precision approaches. These consist of overlay approaches, GPS approaches which overlay an existing non-precision approach procedure such as a VOR, an RNAV, or an NDB approach, and GPS-only approaches.
Approach Transition Approach Transition operations occur after you enable approach operation. The APPRCH annunciator will turn on. The CDI sensitivity will gradually scale from 5.0 to 1.0 nm full scale per side automatically. The IAF is usually in the Approach Transition operation area.
CAUTION The Apollo GX and the U.S. GPS Satellites use the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS-84) horizontal datum for latitudes and longitudes. Approach plate or approach procedure data must be referenced to the WGS-84 or North American Datum 1983 (NAD-83) in order to use the approach.
9-4 Approach Basics (GX50/60).
Approach Procedure There are three general types of Apollo GX operation: · En Route ü Load Destination Waypoint ü Load Approach Information · Approach Transition (or Approach Enabled) ü Enable ap.
Load a Destination Airport The destination must be an airport. 1. Load your flight plan. You may activate or edit an existing flight plan. Press the FPL key to reach FLIGHT PLAN mode. If the desired flight plan is active, go to the next section “Load Approach Information.
Load Approach Information 1. When a flight plan is active, press SEL while in the Nav function or the Moving Map to go directly to this display. In the Flight Plan function with the active flight plan displayed, press SEL to reach the “Load Approach?” selection.
Approach Transition Operation (Enabling Approach) Approach Transition Operation begins when you enable an approach that has already been selected from the database and loaded into the active flight plan.
the FAF if the approach has not yet been enabled. You will then get a message to enter the local altimeter setting. Enable Approach - Method 2 When an approach has been loaded, the aircraft is less than 30 nm from the destination airport, and the approach has not yet been enabled, pressing FPL will result in the “Enable Approach?” prompt.
Initial Approach Fix (IAF) 1. Prior to the Initial Approach Fix (IAF), the MSG indicator will light to announce a Waypoint Arrival Alert. Press MSG to acknowledge the message and view the instructions to the next approach point. 2. Press MSG to return to the previous function.
Approach Active Operation Approach Active Operation begins when you cross the Final Approach Fix (FAF) inbound if an approach has been loaded and enabled, the FAF is the active waypoint, and there are no system-detected reasons not to continue the approach (see Message Mode starting on page 1 ).
Canceling the Approach will result in returning to Approach Transition operation. The Approach Active light will go out and the CDI will smoothly scale back to 1.0 nm sensitivity. Once Approach Active has been canceled by the pilot, it cannot be made active again except by again crossing the FAF inbound.
2. The OBS/HLD annunciator will remain lighted solid. CDI resolution is maintained at 0.3 nm. The To/From flag will switch from “TO” to “FROM” as you cross the MAP. 3. If desired, and conditions allow, land the aircraft. 4. If you do not choose to land, cancel the approach by pressing the OBS/HLD button.
approach. You will now return to Approach Transition mode. The Approach Active light will go out and the CDI will gradually go back to Approach Transition CDI sensitivity (from 0.3 nm to 1.0 nm full-scale). As soon as you enable sequencing, the Apollo GX will sequence to the next waypoint in the flight plan.
OBS DTK: 151° to ROARK iaf man brg 356 dtk 356 6. If you do not wish to hold or execute a procedure turn at the next waypoint, press OBS/HLD to enable sequencing at the active waypoint. You may also want to manually select a flight plan leg to intercept.
leg or waypoint and navigate to try the approach again. Your flight plan remains unchanged. Note After an active approach has been canceled, you cannot immediately reactivate it. The approach can only be reactivated by crossing the FAF inbound, when the FAF is the active waypoint.

suspends leg-sequencing at that waypoint and lights the OBS/HLD annunciator. Subsequent pressing of DIRECT-TO toggles between the waypoint selection and OBS DTK choices. Manually Selecting a Flight plan Leg Approach operations often result in the need to manually select a leg of the active flight plan.
Flight Plan Waypoint Sequencing A flight plan will sequence to the next leg of the flight plan as the aircraft crosses to the bisector that runs through the “TO” waypoint. The bisector is defined as the angle that is half of the angle between the current leg and the next leg.
Procedure Turns A procedure turn is a way of crossing the same waypoint more than once in order to accomplish a course reversal. First, make sure that flight plan leg sequencing is suspended. Second, after crossing the waypoint, set the correct inbound course to intercept.
2. Set the desired inbound course with the LARGE and SMALL knobs. Then, press ENTER . OBS DTK: 000° to BTG ifaf auto brg 000 dtk 000 3. Verify that waypoint sequencing is set to “auto.” 4. Fly the procedure-turn or course reversal and intercept the selected inbound course.
are less than 2 nm from the FAF when you enable sequencing, then transition to Approach Active, i.e., the CDI sensitivity will begin changing to 0.3 nm full-scale deflection immediately. The approach annunciator will begin flashing immediately if all the conditions exist to allow the approach to go to the active condition (RAIM available, etc.
Holding Patterns A holding pattern is operationally the same as a procedure turn except that you usually intend to make repeated crossings of the waypoint on a specific inbound course. Like the procedure turn, the steps will always be: · First, suspend sequencing · Second, set the inbound course.
4. Finally, when you are ready to exit the holding pattern, press OBS/HLD . Caution While flying outbound, your CDI will provide reverse sensing. Holding at the FAF Holding at the FAF is different from other holding patterns. You must be inbound and have sequencing enabled to allow proper transition to Approach Active at the FAF.
DME Arcs (Arc Assist) DME-Arcs are usually used as a method for pilots to intercept a flight plan leg, or a course to a fix. They are sometimes used as a method for reaching a subsequent fix such as a missed approach holding waypoint. The Apollo GX automates your DME-Arc procedure.
Note The desired track shown on an Arc Assist page is relative to the arc, not to the flight plan legs. The DME-Arc is always perpendicular to the present radial and it shows the desired track at the current radial if the aircraft was on the arc. It is the desired no-wind heading if established on the arc.
3. The Course Intercept alert will appear as you become established inbound on the final approach course. Course Intercept Next Dtk 312° Navigating to a DME The Apollo GX may be used to help guide you to near the start of an ILS approach by using the location of a DME as a destination waypoint.
RAIM RAIM stands for Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitor. It is a way a GPS receiver can verify when the signals it is receiving from one or more of the satellites are useable. It does this by using more satellites than are required for a position solution.
to predict whether RAIM will be available at the estimated time of arrival at the destination. Your Apollo GX provides you with a RAIM prediction page.
En Route RAIM, or a 2.0 nm alarm limit is provided at all other times. Note that the three different equipment operation states: En route, Approach-Transition, and Approach-Active are somewhat but not directly related to the three RAIM alarm limits of En route, Terminal, and Approach.

Approach Example 5 - DME Arc The following example describes the process for intercepting and flying a DME-Arc. This example uses a flight plan from Klamath Falls (LMT) to Medford (MFR) and will navigate along the VOR DME Runway 14 approach. You may also use Ashland (S03) to make your flight a little quicker.
2. Some approaches use additional intermediate waypoints not listed on the approach selection page, but are shown as small squares. Press INFO to view all waypoints in the approach. Turn the SMALL knob as necessary to view additional waypoints. Press INFO again to return to the previous page.
Left Arc dtk 245 ref: OED vor Rad 335° 16.4nm· 3. Follow the Moving Map or Arc Assist page information to fly the arc. 4. Flight plan waypoint sequencing will operate normally. Note When intercepting and flying DME-ARCs, autopilots may be used only in the heading mode.
Approach Example 6 - Procedure Turn 1 This example uses a flight plan from Roseburg, OR (5S1) to Medford, OR (MFR) to demonstrate how to recover when you overshoot the point where you need to place sequencing on hold (Point B).
1. Point A - At 30 nm west of the MFR airport, you will be prompted to “Enable Approach.” As the current Track Angle is less than 70° to the FAF-MAP leg, sequencing is not suspended. 2. As you cross over the OED VOR (IAF) at point E, the unit will sequence to MA14, because sequencing was not suspended prior to OED.
Approach Example 7 - Procedure Turn 2 For this example, use the VOR or GPS-B approach for Wenatchee, Washington. You will start the approach using the CASHS transition. The example involves a procedure turn at the FAF that is not also the IAF. Illustration Points Point A - Between CASHS and EAT.
3. Point C - You will be prompted to enter the OBS DTK when you near the FAF. Select an OBS setting of 285° with the LARGE and SMALL knobs and then press ENTER to select an inbound course. Note that the CDI will be “reverse-sensing” just as it would when outbound from a VOR with the OBS set to the inbound course.
The following examples of typical approaches illustrate where the LOC-DME waypoint may be useful. In addition, examples using DME information from VOR waypoints are given. ILS with DME Data from ILS DME Antenna The following example uses the ILS Rwy 10L approach to Portland International airport.
The Apollo GPS CDI may not be aligned with the approach course, only the Nav receiver may be used for course guidance. 3. Press NAV on the Apollo GPS to display distance. Note the distance to the IVDG DME to identify the intersections TRAYL (D9.1 IVDG), BLAZR (D5.
ILS DME with DME Data from Two VORs on the Field This example uses the ILS DME approach to Rwy 21 at Flagstaff, Arizona. The DME is co-located with the VOR. 1. Before commencing the approach, press DIRECT-TO . Select the Flagstaff (vFLG) VOR/DME waypoint using the LARGE and SMALL knobs, and then press ENTER .
The Apollo GPS CDI may not be aligned with the approach course, if the magnetic variation has changed since the VOR station was commissioned. Only the Nav receiver may be used for course guidance. 3. Press NAV on the GPS to display distance. Use your Apollo GPS for distance information to identify the REENY (IAF) intersection at D20.
identify FORRS (D13.0), CERAB (D18.0), and the missed approach point (D23.0). DME Arc Example The following example uses Baltimore’s VOR DME 15 to demonstrate the approach to Martin State Airport. The approach uses a 14.7 DME clockwise arc to guide the aircraft to Runway 15.
just plant your right wing on the bearing to BAL as displayed by the GPS and hold the arc. If the distance drifts lower than 14.7, widen the turn a few degrees by turning left. If the distance drifts higher than 14.7, tighten the turn a few degrees by turning right.

it; therefore, it would appear in the database as “GNB” at the second airport. Standard Naming Conventions In general, the following codes are used to correspond to a waypoint type. When they are associated with an approach to a specific runway, the runway is appended.
Unnamed turn points, intersections, and bearing/distance waypoints: Idents for unnamed turn points, intersections, or bearing/distance waypoints (other than VHF navaid distance/bearing), that are not coincidental with named waypoints, are constructed by using the ident of the nearest navaid together with the distance (rounded to whole miles).
Note Jeppesen Approach Procedure Charts identify Phase-2 overlay approaches by printing GPS contained in parenthesis, (GPS) along with the procedure name. Phase III GPS Approaches Phase III GPS approaches must contain GPS in the title of the GPS procedure such as VOR or GPS RWY 24.

Troubleshooting Or, what to do when nothing works! This section contains information to troubleshoot your Apollo GX product when improper operation is observed. The following table lists possible problems you could encounter while operating the unit. Examine the possible causes of the problem and take the action listed to correct the trouble.
To Ensure Trouble Free Operation Avoid high cockpit temperatures when the aircraft is not in use. Extreme heat shortens the life of any electronic equipment. Periodically check all antenna, power, and ground connections. Caution DO NOT clean the face plate with chemical cleaning agents, solvents, or harsh detergents.
Problem Possible Cause Action No GPS signal reception Obstructed signal path Move aircraft out of hangar or away from buildings to provide an unobstructed view of the sky for the antenna Incorrect see.
Problem Possible Cause Action Search for nearest waypoints reveals too few or wrong types of waypoints Incorrect selection of waypoint types to show after search Runway Limits are set for a value that.
GPS Navigation GPS Overview The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a constellation of 24, or more, satellites in six orbit lanes 10,898 nautical miles above the earth at an inclination angle of about 55 degrees from the equator. Each satellite orbits the earth twice in 24 hours.
processes the information to determine which satellites are “visible” to the receiver’s antenna. With this determination made, the receiver chooses satellites to calculate a position fix.
Glossary A Altitude (GPS ALT): Altitude, as calculated by the Apollo GX , based upon a mathematical model of the earth’s surface curvature. A substantial difference between this altitude value and altitude referenced to sea level may exist. Altitude Assist: An aid that provides guidance in descending from one altitude to another.
Bearing (BRG): The direction to any point, usually measured in degrees relative to true or magnetic north. The direction from your present position to your destination waypoint. C CF: Final approach course Fix. This waypoint type is used when necessary to define a course to the FAF - all VOR DME approaches require a course fix waypoint.
Cross Track Deviation: The distance that your are away from your intended course. CTAF: Common Traffic Advisory Frequency. D Database: A collection of data structured in such a way as to allow quick and convenient access to any particular record or records.
Desired Track (DTK): The desired course of navigation between a point of origin (FROM) and a destination (TO) waypoint. Destination: The last waypoint in the active route.
FDE: The F ault D etection and E xclusion column refers to the ability to identify and exclude a faulty satellite and still have suitable satellite geometry at that position. FF: Final Approach Fix. A code appended to a waypoint in the database that may not appear on a published map.
Hold: Waypoint sequencing is disabled or suspended. A hold may be automatically or manually activated. This should not be confused with a “holding pattern.” Pressing the OBS/HLD key suspends waypoint sequencing. I IAF: Initial Approach Fix. Identifier: A name, typically abbreviated, assigned to a waypoint.
Magnetic North: The region, some distance from the geographic north pole where the earth’s magnetic lines concentrate. A magnetic compass points to the magnetic north. Magnetic Variation (Mag Var): The angle between the magnetic and true north. At various points on the earth it is different due to local magnetic disturbances.
N Nautical Mile (nm): A distance measurement equal to 6,076 feet, or 1.15 statute mile. One nautical mile is also equal to one minute of latitude. NAVSTAR: The name given to GPS satellites formed from the acronym for NAV igation S ystem with T ime And R anging.
Relative Bearing Indicator: The Relative Bearing Indicator is an arrow next to the Bearing value that indicates an approximate bearing to a waypoint or airspace relative to the aircraft’s current track when your current ground speed is more than 5 knots.
Track (TRK): The imaginary line that the flight path of an airplane makes over the earth. Track Angle: The angle of your actual direction of travel. Track angle is computed using the magnetic variation at the Present Position. Track Angle Error (TAE): The difference between the Desired Track and the Track Angle (Dtk - Trk = Tae).
UTC Differential: The difference in time between that at the present position and UTC. UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator map projection system): Also known as Military Grid Coordinates, the UTM grid consists of 60 north-south/east-west zones, each six degrees wide in longitude.
