Hi AFS,

What do I need to do to get the AP to follow the TOD and BOD decent profile?

So far, my sequence is as follows: I've entered the flight plan into the GNS-430W, I can see the flight plan on the 4500, and the AP is receiving ARINC data from the EFIS. When I get within AWOS range, I go into the 4500's flight plan menu and select the runway. At this time, I see TOD, BOD, and the "feathers" for my selected runway on the 4500's map display. I also set the Minimums bug to pattern altitude. When I reach TOD, the AP continues to fly normally. At this point I disengage the AP and I manually fly the decent. BTW, this is for VFR approaches.

How do I get the AP to follow the TOD and BOD decent profile?

Equipment is: 4500EE w/ 8.08.12 firmware, GNS-430, AF-Pilot, and an AF-ARINC module.

I thought I had seen/read how this done somewhere but I can't seem to find it on the forums nor rev 7.4 of the EFIS's manual.

Thank you,
