WARNING

GPS non-precision approach procedures are safe for use only when

a valid database is loaded and used before the expiration date. Use

of out of date database information may cause navigation errors and

hazards. Maintenance personnel use a PCMCIA card to

periodically update the database.

Turn to any APT page and select KLAX.

Select APT 8 page.

Activate right cursor and position over desired approach (VOR 25R).

With flashing cursor over desired approach (VOR 25R), press ENT.

The GPS will now display available IAF's. Position cursor over ELMOO and press

ENT.

NOTE

If only one IAF is available for the selected approach, the GPS will

proceed from step d to step f.

The GPS will now display the waypoints, which comprise the approach. Review to

verify correct approach is selected

Position cursor over LOAD IN FPL and press ENT. The GPS will check the active

flight plan to verify that the airport, which corresponds to the selected approach, is in

the active flight plan. If the airport is not in the active flight plan, the GPS will

prompt PRESS ENT TO ADD KLAX AND APPR TO FPL 0 APPROVE? Press

ENT to add approach and corresponding airport to the active flight plan.

The GPS will automatically sequence to the FPL 0 page and insert the approach

waypoints in front of the airport waypoint

precision approaches are automatically deleted from the Flight Plan

0 page (active flight plan) in non-volatile memory 5 minutes after

the GPS is turned off. Desired approaches must be loaded again to

be used.
