I have the Gx-Pilot with two G3X non-touch + GTN650
For the IFR RNAV LPV approach and getting to the MAP, the 650 gives "guidance" as altitude XXXX following the MAP.
Since approaches take a while and one can not linger to try different scenarios for actions, here are some options and I am looking for better ones pilots might have developed with this specific hardware.
Option 1 - as the MAP is reached the 650 goes into suspend mode. I disconnect the AP with the CWS button with a tap, pitch/power/climb on RWY HDG, turn and then at the missed altitude, unsuspend the approach and set to the AP to "AP-NAV" and "ALT ALT" .
I would like to use the CWS feature to do the following:
Option 2 - I could hold the CWS until established in the climb and release the CWS so the AP is in "PIT" mode and HDG "ROLL" mode. (At least I think that is what it will do.) Then when at the turn altitude (in my home approach) Unsuspend the 650 and engage HDG - "AP NAV" mode for tracking followed by ALT- "AP ALT" hold mode.
Option 3 - Please post
Note: I can not find any mode resembling a TOGA for this AP.
