(5) Changing to another approach after
selecting an approach;

(l) GPS Familiarization
Pilots should practice GPS approaches in visual
meteorological conditions (VMC) until thoroughly
proficient with all aspects of their equipment
(receiver and installation) prior to attempting flight
in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC).
Pilots should be proficient in the following areas:

(6) Programming and flying "direct"
missed approaches;
(7) Programming and flying "routed"
missed approaches;
(8) Entering, flying, and exiting holding
patterns, particularly on approaches with a second
waypoint in the holding pattern;

(1) Using the receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) prediction function;

(9) Programming and flying a "route" from
a holding pattern;

(2) Inserting a DP into the flight plan,
including setting terminal CDI sensitivity, if required,
and the conditions under which terminal RAIM is
available for departure;

(10) Programming and flying an approach
with radar vectors to the intermediate segment;
(11) Indication of the actions required for
RAIM failure both before and after the FAWP; and

(3) Programming the destination airport;
(4) Programming and flying the approaches (especially procedure turns and arcs);

(12) Programming a radial and distance
from a VOR (often used in departure instructions).
