This is my attempt to document the steps required to fly
instrument approaches using the Advanced Flight
Systems AF3400, AF3500 and the Advanced Deck (4500). I will
also indicate particular steps required to program standard avionics
such as the Garmin GNS430W along with the
TruTrak Digiflight II VSGV autopilot.
I will also display individual steps in the logical order.
