Understanding Vectors

The Vectors? option, which appears after you select an approach,

determines how you navigate to the nal approach waypoint.

If you select Yes, the GPSMAP 396 creates an extension of the nal

course, beyond the nal approach waypoint in the database (nal

approach x [FAF]). On the Active Route Page, a Vector to Final

symbol appears beside the rst approach waypoint.

Using vectors in the approach

The GPSMAP 396 provides no guidance to the inbound course.

The course deviation needle on the graphic HSI remains off-center

until you are established on this nal approach course. The HSI

automatically slews (rotates to show the direction) to the inbound

course. The Map Page shows an extension of the nal approach

course using a bold magenta line.

If No is selected for the Vectors? option, the GPSMAP 396 creates

a straight-line course directly to the rst waypoint in the approach

(from wherever you are when you initiate the approach). This works

much like any other route with course guidance from point to point

and a turn usually required as you cross each waypoint.

CAUTION: Steep Turns are not allowed on an IFR (Instrument

Flight Rules) approach. Follow the approach plate or air trafc

control instructions to complete the approach without a steep

turn.

If air trafc control clears your approach to an airport, loading the

approach cancels your Direct To and initiates a route to the FAF.

Load the approach only when cleared by air trafc control.

You can cancel an approach and/or vectors several ways:

To cancel the vectors and/or approach:

1. Press Direct To and press MENU on the Go To Page.

Open the Active Route Page. Press MENU to open the

options menu.

2. Highlight Cancel Approach, and press ENTER to cancel

the entire approach. If you enabled Vectors, highlight Cancel

Vectors, and press ENTER to navigate directly to the FAF.
