As a new user of an AF5600, I'm working through the "buttonology" learning process. As I'm learning things, I'm hoping to make checklists to hopefully help insure I don't forget something the next time. Has anyone already developed procedure lists that perhaps I could use? What I'm looking for is a listing of the things I'll need to do to correctly fly a specific approach type. I have an AF5600, a GTN650, and a Trutrak AP (DFII VSGV), but I suspect the checklists might be similar even with differing equipment. Here's a start of a list (and yes I probably have errors/omissions so if you spot something please let me know.)
ILS Approach - Vectors to Final - Intercepting less than 30 degrees
1. Load approach and Activate in GTN650
2. Set EFIS Hdg Bug and Alt Bug for intercept
3. Set AP to L-ARM and V-ARM
4. Engage Autopilot
5. Confirm NAV Freq loaded and ID'd
6. Set CRS knob (OBS) to inbound course
7. Set 650 CDI to L-Nav
8. Set EFIS CRS to V-NAV
