I have a GTN650 that feeds my Dynon screens. I'm wondering what the proper procedure is to set up for a VOR approach. Let's say I activate a VOR approach. Assume I am not being vectored. Also assume there is no GPS overlay for the approach. Also assume my GTN is properly configured to switch from GPS source to NAV source automatically.
My understanding is that to fly a VOR approach I need to use the actual VOR receiver of the GTN to legally fly the approach. When I activate the approach the GTN is feeding the HSI on the Dynon with the GPS (HSI is magenta). It doesn't switch to green (VOR receiver) when I cross the VOR as I expected it would. It does automatically change all the course settings, etc, so that if I were a skilled monkey I would be able to follow the flight director to fly the approach. But it's not feeding me info from the VOR receiver so I don't think this is a legal way to fly the approach.
I once manually hit the CDI key to switch to the VOR receiver and then activated the approach and the GTN does correctly give me the green HSI but it doesn't then set the course automatically as I cross the VOR and sequence through the procedure turn, etc. I have to do all that manually.
I believe it would be legal for me to fly from the GPS source if I could also get a bearing to the VOR at the same time. Am I right about this? If so does anyone know how to do it with the GTN/Dynon combo? Or is there maybe a better way altogether?
