Flying a GPS Flight Plan
1) Enter Panoche VORTAC (PXN) and Clovis VORTAC
(CZQ) into the GPS flight plan, in preparation to
intercept this leg.
2) Transition from VOR to GPS Navigation Mode.
a) Use the
CDI
Softkey to put the HSI in GPS
mode. This cancels VOR mode on the HSI and
the flight director loses the VOR signal. As a
result, the VOR annunciation flashes yellow.
Flashes for ten seconds, then transitions to ROL..
b) Press the
NAV
Key to activate GPS Navigation
Mode to cause the autopilot to steer the
aircraft toward the active flight plan leg.
