first question is to load an approach but not to immediately activate it just puts it at the end of all the other already loaded way points. To immediately activate it puts it up front and bypasses all other way points. If you agree, lets get to the real question.
So lets say I'm humping along with my Kap140 auto pilot in Nav mode, when and why do I need to enter Apr mode?
Now lets say I'm flying around in Nav mode. If I don't enter Apr mode but have an approach loaded behind a few way points, what will the auto pilot do after the last non-approach way point?
Thanks in advance?

I only activate the approach and enter approach mode once I hear "cleared for the approach".

Diffrent auto pilot, but same procedure.
 
See replies to your same question on VAF.
 
I thought the KAP 140 wouldn't capture a GS outside of approach mode. It also adjusts sensitivity.
