If Ent is flashing on the left side
of the screen, then press

This will prompt the KLX 135 to
display a waypoint page for the
waypoint identifier you just
entered (figure 4-39).

displayed, and then press

again to approve the waypoint
page. The display will return to
the page previously displayed
(figure 4-40).

Often, you will find yourself entering airports that begin with the same
character over and over again. In

section 2.3

, you learned how the

KLX 135 uses ICAO identifiers, which means that many U.S. airport
identifiers begin with the letter K. Also, many airport identifiers in
Europe begin with the letter E or the letter L. Especially when flying
VFR, you will mostly want to enter airports as Direct To or Flight Plan
waypoints. The KLX 135 has a great feature that will save you turns
of the knob when you know that the first character will probably be a
K, E, L, or other letter that is commonly used in your part of the world.
You can set the default first waypoint identifier character on the
SET 5 page.

To change the default first waypoint identifier character:

Select the SET 5 page
(figure 4-41) and turn on the
cursor (

) (figure 4-42).

Use the right inner knob to select
the desired character
(figure 4-43), such as a K in the
U.S., a C in Canada, a P in
Alaska, an E or an L in Europe,
etc.
