Flight Management System (FMS) for the Agusta AW139/AB139 Helicopter
ARRIVAL
The ARRIVAL pages are used for examining and selecting runways,
helipads, approaches, and standard terminal arrival routes (STARs)
stored in the navigation database.
NOTE:
Some approaches and STARs are not in the database
because of the way some procedures are defined by the
controlling agency and the limitations of the FMS.
Colocated, duplicate waypoints are included in some flight
plan arrivals to ensure proper guidance to a database
specified procedure. Do not delete individual elements of
colocated duplicate waypoints.
To illustrate the steps in the ARRIVAL function, Minneapolis, Minnesota
(KMSP) is used as the destination of the active flight plan. The example
starts with the selection of a surface. However, there is no required
selection order. Also, making a selection from each page is not
necessary. When a STAR has already been activated, selecting a
surface is possible without affecting the previously selected procedure.
At any point in the selection process, returning to the ARRIVAL page
and review and/or activate the selected items is possible.
On the ARRIVAL page, when a new surface is selected not supported
by a previously selected STAR (or approach), the previous procedures
are not displayed for selection into the active flight plan. Only
approaches to the selected surface are displayed on the APPROACH
page. When these changes are activated while flying the previous
procedure, the FMS prompts for CHANGE ACTIVE LEG confirmation.
Selecting a new surface is accomplished by returning to the ARRIVAL
page and selecting the SURFACE prompt. The desired surface is
chosen. The ARRIVAL prompt is selected. The ACTIVATE prompt
permits selection of a new surface.
Following selection of an arrival procedure (STAR or approach), the
following methods must be used to modify the arrival procedure in the
active flight plan.
The ARRIVAL page is used for the following actions:
D
— Add a segment to the procedure already existing in the active
flight plan
— Replace a procedure segment already in the active flight plan
— Delete a procedure segment from the active flight plan.
