APPR mode indicates the aircraft is:

APPR mode is the autopilot/flight-director setting used during the approach phase to fly the published approach path. When APPR is active, the system guides the airplane to follow the final approach course and, on ILS or similar approaches, to capture and track the glide path as appropriate. This mode is typically engaged after ATC clears you for the approach, signaling you’re transitioning into the landing phase and will be following the procedure to the runway. It’s not about simply tracking the localizer (that would be a localizer-only mode), nor about climbing out after takeoff, nor about executing a go-around. So the best description is that APPR mode means the aircraft is cleared for the approach and is being guided along the approach path toward landing.
