E96Flight PlanningOverviewGPS NavigationFlight PlanningHazard AvoidanceAdditional FeaturesAppendicesIndex3.5 APPROACHESWARNING: The GPSMAP 695/696 is not designed to be independently usedfor flight into instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) or other conditions inwhich aircraft control is based solely upon flight instruments. The approachesprovided are for monitoring purposes only. Only the final course segment(final approach fix (FAF) to missed approach point (MAP)) of the publishedapproach is available for monitoring.An approach can be loaded at any airport that has one available, and providesguidance for non-precision and precision approaches to airports with publishedinstrument approach procedures. Only one approach can be loaded at a time in aflight plan. If an approach is loaded when another approach is already in the activeflight plan, the new approach replaces the previous approach. Only the final coursesegment (Final Approach Fix (FAF) to Missed Approach Point (MAP)) of the publishedapproach is available for monitoring.Whenever an approach is selected, the choice to either “Load Approach” or “ActivateApproach” is given. “Load Approach” adds the approach to the end of the flight planwithout immediately using it for navigation guidance. This allows continued navigationvia the intermediate waypoints in the original flight plan, but keeps the procedureavailable on the Active Flight Plan Page for quick activation when needed. “ActivateApproach” also adds the procedure to the end of the flight plan but immediatelybegins to provide guidance to the first waypoint in the approach.Select Approach Window
