play, and the bar will always be over one of them. For example, let’s
say you were on an APT page
(figure 3-32) and you wanted to turn
to a SET page. You would look at the
list and see that the SET pages are
eight places to the right of the APT
pages. Therefore, turning the right
outer knob eight clicks clockwise will
get you to the SET pages
(figure 3-33). The annunciator bar
and the page labels work kind of like
a map to get you from one page type
to another. The page type selection
wraps around from Other (OTH) to
Airport (APT); that is, the knob has no mechanical stops.
Once you have selected the desired page type using the right outer
knob, you may select the page number by rotating the right inner
knob. Let’s use an example to make sure you understand. You are
presently viewing the APT 2 page and you wish to view the NAV 3
page. Rotating the right outer knob 5 (five) clicks clockwise will
display the NAV page that you last viewed—we’ll say the NAV 2
page. Turning the right inner knob one click clockwise or three clicks
counterclockwise will bring you to the NAV 3 page. Got it?
NOTE: In this Pilot’s Guide the right smaller knob is assumed to be
in the “in” position unless it specifically states that he knob should be
in the “out” position. Therefore, the words “rotate the right inner
knob” mean to turn the right inner knob while the knob is in the “in”
position.
3.4.2. DATA ENTRY
Now that you’ve learned how to select the desired page, you’re ready
to learn the means of entering data. It is necessary to enter data, for
example, in order to specify a waypoint of your choice to go Direct
To. The general procedure for entering a waypoint identifier is
described below and is shown in
for enter-
ing a waypoint (in this case, First Flight airport in North Carolina,
identifier KFFA) on the Calculator (CAL) 1 page.
