After you get your COMM frequencies ready to go, you’ll probably
want to check the NAV 2 page to see your present position. Use the
right outer knob to select the NAV page type and then the right inner
knob, if necessary, to select the NAV
2 page. It is quite likely that the
present position will be dashed at first
(figure 4-20). It takes the KLX 135
several minutes to acquire the GPS
satellites and to make its initial
calculation of your position. When
the KLX 135 reaches a NAV ready
status and is able to navigate, the
NAV 2 page will display your present
position relative to the nearest VOR
(figure 4-21). Verify that the present
position shown on the NAV 2 page is
correct.
NOTE: In order to reach a Nav ready status, the aircraft must be
away from obstructions blocking the GPS antenna’s view of required
satellites. If the KLX 135 fails to reach a Nav ready status within five
minutes refer to
section 4.6 , “Initialization And Time To First Fix”.
4.3. DISPLAY FORMAT
The KLX 135 uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). In normal opera-
tion, the display screen is divided into two segments by a vertical line,
called the page divider. In some cases, such as the display of
system messages or the turn-on and self test sequence, the page
divider disappears and you have a “full-screen” page.
Aeronautical information (or data) is presented on the screen in the
form of “pages”. A page is a presentation of specific data in an
organized format. Various page “types” are used to display related
kinds of data. For example, one page type is NAV (navigation). NAV
pages show information such as distance, groundspeed, bearing,
course, and other data relating to navigation. Another page type is
APT (airport). APT pages contain information pertinent to a specific
airport such as name, city, State, elevation, and direction and dis-
tance relative to the aircraft’s present position.
In normal operation, the aeronautical data is displayed on the right
side of the screen. The active and standby COMM frequencies
appear in the upper left corner of the display. The active frequency is
