  "textContent": "Embodiments of a process (40) and a program product are provided suitable for implantation by a flight management system (FMS, 20), which is deployed onboard an aircraft and including a display device (22) and a user interface (28). The FMS operable is operable in a FMS landing system (FLS) guidance mode and in a flight management (FM) vertical guidance mode. In one embodiment, the process includes the steps of: (i) receiving data via the user interface designating an approach in a flight plan (44); (ii) enabling the pilot to utilize the user interface to select a non-precision approach mode from the plurality of non-precision approach modes if the designated approach is a non-precision approach (54); and (iii) placing the FMS in the selected non-precision approach mode during the designated approach (52, 60).",
