How to transition from VOR to an ILS Approach?

[bofhlusr 453]

Load and activate from Runway 20 in KWVI?  When do I activate the auto-pilot in the Cessna and press NAV?

After takeoff.

SNS should be the current active waypoint on the GTN.

Climb to 2600 feet and then fly with ALT on the autopilot.

I'm taking off from KWVI. This is what I have before taking off:

Do I still need to use SNS if I take off from KWVI and all I want to do is get to the ZEBED intersection?

You do not have to... there are two transition options, SNS and ZEBED.

At the very beginning you were trying to fly via SNS, so that is why I suggested that option.

They both work.  

Try the SNS option, it is more interesting!

Why do you have the leg to the FAF active?

Your magenta arrow should be pointing to ZEBED...

Are you adding steps to the suggested plan??

Edit:

Also your GTN is in VLOC mode...

I hope I'm getting this right. Please let me know if you see anything wrong below. I'll report back later.

Better, but your GTN is in VLOC mode!

What should it be in? How do I change it?

[Bert Pieke 7,585]

GPS mode, by pushing the CDI button on the GTN map page.

Lastly, did you add SNS as a waypoint?

You should select it as the transition when setting up the approach..

[Bert Pieke 7,585]

Go back and read my instructions for setting up the approach, and follow it step by step.

Main GTN page:

PROC

Approach

KMRY,  RNAV 10R LPV,  with transition SNS

Load and activate

I may have confused you here... Sorry! 🙂

You started off wanting an ILS approach, and here I am showing you how to do the RNAV approach to the same runway..

Good news is that if you actually fly the RNAV approach and see how it all works (staying in GPS mode all the way), it will be easier to go back and fly the ILS approach later.. where you will have to switch from GPS mode to VLOC mode on final, as was explained before..

Edit: I'll stop interfering at this point, and let you fly

Ok? I'm not sure if I understood what you meant by 'with transition SNS'. I don't believe I saw that as an option while following your instructions.

No problem. I really appreciate your time. I can fly to the ILS feather manually and then fly the approach based on suggestions here no problem. It's getting to the ZEBED intersection from the last leg without manual input that's giving me a headache. 🙂
