[. . . ] As the plane approaches "WILDE" the waypoint message `NEXT DTK 072°' is displayed. As the waypoint approaches, the message is replaced by a turn advisory `TURN TO 072°'. Initiate a standard rate turn to this course heading. At 2. 0 nm from the FAF (PINTO), the G1000 switches from terminal mode to approach mode. CDI scaling is tightened from 1. 0 to 0. 3 nm, full range deflection. As the plane approaches the FAF, the waypoint message `NEXT DTK 072°' is displayed. Make any adjustments necessary for the final course segment (FAF to MAP). 8. As the plane crosses the FAF, the destination sequences to the MAP (RW07map, the runway threshold). Keeping the CDI needle centered, fly toward the MAP, observing the altitude minimums dictated by the approach plate. As the plane approaches the MAP, the waypoint message `ARRIVING AT WAYPOINT' is displayed. As the plane crosses the MAP, `SUSP' is displayed in the HSI and directly above the SUSP softkey, indicating that automatic sequencing of approach waypoints is suspended. A `FROM' indication is displayed on the CDI, but course guidance along the final approach course continues. 30 Garmin G1000 Pilot's Training Guide 190-00368-03 Rev. A PROCEDURES Figure 3 Flying the DME Arc and Vectors to the DME Arc 190-00368-03 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Pilot's Training Guide Reproduced with permission of Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc. Not to be used for navigation. 31 PROCEDURES Procedure 5 VECTORS TO THE DME ARC This example is en route from KSAF to KFMN on a heading of 294°, 25 miles out and ATC gives vectors to intercept the arc outbound from HIDOX. If the approach has not already been activated, be sure to do so when cleared for the approach. ATC instructs to turn left to a heading of 270° to intercept the arc. Prior to intercepting the arc the leg must be activated since the arc was not intercepted at the IAF. With the Active Flight Plan page displayed, press the FMS knob to activate the cursor. Turn the large FMS knob to highlight DME ARC and press the MENU key to display a list of options. `Activate Leg' is now highlighted, press the ENT key. A confirmation window is displayed with `ACTIVATE' highlighted, press the ENT key. [. . . ] In conclusion, as GA aircraft and pilots transition to 21st-century technology, the G1000 Integrated Avionics System brings a number of safety enhancing benefits. Although automation in the cockpit should be embraced, both its positive and negative impacts on the safety of flight should be recognized and understood. Proper autopilot use is key to enhancing safety by reducing pilot workload - this is particularly true in certain emergency situations. In addition, the ability to develop a methodical approach to other cockpit tasks, even as simple as COM/NAV frequency selection and GPS management, can help the pilot to maintain better situational awareness while minimizing the overall cockpit workload.
