Honeywell AP and FMS.
You are on the last stages of the star, and using the FMS to display the moving map with required star waypoints.
Then you start being vectored off the star to intercept the final approach course on an ILS.
Once the vectoring begins, you come out of nav mode, and select hdg mode on the autopilot control panel. You have the airplane is configured & prepared to capture the localizer.
At the point that you have the first vector, what is std procedure for the FMS?
I have mostly seen people just leave it alone. Seems like it could provide more positional awareness through the other moving map we have, maybe by selecting 'direct airport' once intercepting the loc? Or set it up to procede direct to the MAP?
What do you guys do with the FMS(GPS function) once on an ILS approach?
