Hello,
is it possible like on the G530 to change manual the CDI scale from Enroute to Terminal or Approach?
I have found nothing in the manual.
My software version is 10.2.0.0.
When I have a User Waypoint and it is labeled as an Airport, will in this case the IFD change from Enroute to Terminal scale, when I approach the waypoint ( in this case my home airbase which is a German glider airfield => User-Waypoint).
Greetings
Oliver

CDI scaling can not be manually controlled.

It is not clear to me if the second part of his post is a statement or a question.

Will the IFD treat a user-waypoint-airport like any other destination, and auto-scale to the TERM mode?

No.  The ability to designate a user waypoint as an airport was implemented for the sole purpose of supporting the TAWS function.  That's why you have to enter a field elevation as part of the definition.
