 +The Learjet 45 uses the Universal FMS which is also used in the Q400 and in the specific 737-500 simulated in Aerofly FS. The FMS is described in detail on the [[aircraft:universal_uns1_fms|Universal UNS-1]] wiki page.

 During the descent we are going to prepare the approach into Santa Barbara. We are going to fly in FMS on our flight plan up to 8 NM to Gaviota VOR (GVO) where we are going to turn left to 255° onto the downwind. By then we will have the approach set up fully so that we can switch our navigation source from FMS to NAV on our left PFD. We will slow down to 160kts and set flaps 5°. When we reach a distance of 10 NM to the localizer we will turn left to 130° to intercept it. The autopilot will intercept the localizer for us so that we can run final checks while it does that. At 200 ft above the ground we have to disengage the autopilot and land manually. During the descent we are going to prepare the approach into Santa Barbara.
