5. Select your estimated groundspeed for the trip.
6. Move the cursor to the fuel flow rate field and use the right inner
knob to select the desired value. Remember that this can be in
any units you desire (as long as it's per hour), but the same fuel
units must carry through the calculations.
7. Move the cursor to the fuel
reserve requirement field and
enter the desired value. As you
do, watch the calculation of fuel
required on line 4 change
(figure 5-15).
5.2. 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 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 KLX 135 will automatically start the user-
defined waypoint creation process.
To delete a user-defined waypoint that is no longer needed, see
section 4.14.2 , "Viewing and Deleting User Waypoints and Waypoint
Remarks".
5.2.1. CREATING A WAYPOINT AT YOUR PRESENT POSITION
Creating a waypoint at your present position is the simplest possible
way to create a user-defined waypoint. This is nice for
"remembering" a spot you are at. Let's suppose you're at a private
strip that you want to name "VALLY"
