Here is what I laminated up when I was getting my IR in the plane (note my planes has 530W but function of KAP-140 is the same)
ILS Approach
1. Load Approach in FPL
2. On vectors, activate leg that you will intercept
3. On own nav or to IAF, activate approach
4. Set CDI to VLOC
5. Set NAV1 to localizer freq (flip-flop)
6. Fly to intercept localizer in HDG and ALT hold mode.
7. Set OBS to localizer heading (final approach crse hdg)
8. On intercept course arm approach mode (push APR button). AP will display “APP armed.” (note: according to KAP-140 manual, you don’t have to arm APP – it will automatically capture and switch to APP mode)
9. As localizer capture occurs, AP will turn onto localizer course and HDG mode will switch to APP.
10. When on localizer course, GS is automatically armed. AP shows “GSarm”
11. When GS is captured, ALT mode is replaced by GS indication on face of KAP-140.
Missed
1. When you fly past MAP, FP sequencing will be automatically suspended.
2. Pitch-up, Power-up, Clean-up, Trim-up.
3. When at least 400 AGL (??) you can reactivate AP in HDG, VS mode and arm the climb-out altitude.
4. Once straight-out altitude specified in plate is attained, you can re-activate sequencing by pressing OBS button. Arm the NAV and you are on you way.
5. Before you reach holding fix, 530W will display entry type. When you reach a holding fix, sequencing will be automatically suspended. Set OBS mode and use HSI OBS knob to set inbound HDG. Fly holding pattern accordingly.
In my experience, the KAP-140 in APR mode has no problems capturing the approach even from a shallow angle or even on the approach crse.
