To calculate the winds aloft:
1. Turn on the cursor (
B
).
2. Enter the aircraft’s true airspeed
by using the right inner knob
(figure 4-72). If the CAL 5 page
was previously used to calculate
true airspeed, it will already be
displayed.
3. Use the right outer knob to move
the cursor to the Hdg: field, and
then use the right inner knob to
enter the aircraft’s heading (figure
4-73). The headwind or tailwind
and the wind direction and speed
are now displayed. The wind
direction is relative to true North.
NOTE: The wind calculations are only correct when you have
entered the correct aircraft heading and true airspeed. Make sure to
re-enter new values if you change airspeed or heading.
4.4. CREATING USER-DEFINED WAYPOINTS
You may create and store up to 250 user-defined (also known as
supplemental) waypoints. These waypoints will be very helpful to
you. One major application is private-use airstrips, which are not
included in the Jeppesen data base. They are also handy for points
which you fly over frequently, and wish to navigate to. For example,
a crop sprayer would want to store the locations of the fields he or
she dusts often.
There are three ways to create a user-defined waypoint. If you
happen to know the latitude and longitude of the point, that is one
option. The waypoint can also be defined as a radial and distance
from another waypoint. A third choice is just to store your present
position under the identifier you have chosen.
NOTE: Whenever you are in a waypoint entry situation, such as a
Direct To waypoint or flight plan, and you enter an identifier which is
not in the data base, the KLN 35A will automatically start the user-
defined waypoint creation process.
