With the right inner knob, position
the cursor over Ok?, if it is not
already there (figure 3-62).
6.
Press
F
to approve the initial position. The cursor will
automatically be removed from the screen.
NOTE: If the KLN 35A is in the Take-Home mode, you are allowed
to enter the groundspeed (kt) and heading (°) fields in order to simu-
late flight (figure 3-63). They are not
used for actual initialization in an
aircraft. However, entering a ground
speed will allow the KLN 35A to “fly”
along the active flight plan (or to a
direct to waypoint) starting from the
initialization waypoint. A heading may
be entered in the initial heading field while in the Take-Home mode if
the one offered is not desired. See
section 4.7
for more details on
the Take-Home mode.
7.
Select the NAV 2 page. When the KLN 35A reaches the NAV
ready status and is therefore able to navigate, the NAV 2 page
will display the present position. Verify that the latitude and
longitude or the waypoint, radial, and distance display of present
position are correct.
3.7. SELECTING AND SCANNING WAYPOINTS
There are four types of waypoints: airports, VORs, NDBs, and user
waypoints. Waypoints in the published data base fall into one of the
first three types. You can create up to 250 user waypoints to
supplement the waypoints in the database (see
section 4.4
to create
a user waypoint).
There are three methods you may use to select a specific waypoint
for viewing. You may enter the waypoint’s identifier directly, you may
scan through the waypoint identifiers in alphabetical order, or you
may enter the waypoint’s name. If the waypoint is an airport, you
may also select it by entering the city where the airport is located.
