For those familiar with GRT instrument procedures....
Today I flew multiple practice approaches using the HXr driven by a Garmin 430W. The flight plan and nav mode source are set to external. The system performed flawlessly during a full procedure turn. I "EXECUTED" the approach on the HXr when established inbound on FAC. The system displayed lateral and vertical deviations to DA as expected.
I flew back out and attempted two of the exact same scenarios but could not get the GPS vertical deviations and the "EXECUTE" softkey never illuminated after the first approach. I believe the vertical deviations were not available because I could not "EXECUTE" the subsequent approaches.
I reloaded and activated the approaches on the 430W as I did on the first approach and it populated in the HXr flight plan.
Is this a switchology problem? Do I need to do something in the HXr to get the "EXECUTE" option to become available for subsequent approaches? The GPS lateral deviations functioned as expected.
I did not use the "MISSED" function in the HXr after the first approach because I thought selecting a new approach in the 430W would "reset" the HXr.
Thoughts?
Thanks
