4.8.3. WAYPOINT ALERTING FOR DIRECT TO OPERATION
Approximately 36 seconds prior to reaching a Direct To waypoint, the
arrow preceding the waypoint identifier on the waypoint page for the
active waypoint will begin flashing. This arrow will also be flashing on
any NAV or FPL page displaying the active waypoint identifier. This
is called “waypoint alerting”. If an external waypoint alert annunciator
is mounted in the aircraft, this annunciator will begin flashing at the
same time.
4.9. CREATING AND MODIFYING FLIGHT PLANS
The following rules and considerations apply to KLX 135 flight plans:
•
The KLX 135 is capable of storing in its memory nine flight plans
plus an active flight plan.
•
Each of the flight plans may contain up to 20 waypoints. The
waypoints may consist of any combination of published
waypoints from the data base or user created waypoints.
•
The flight plans are numbered 0 through 9 (FPL 0, FPL 1, FPL 2,
. . . , FPL 9).
•
The active flight plan is always FPL 0. The standard procedure
is to create a flight plan in one of the flight plans numbered as
FPL 1, FPL 2, etc. When one of these numbered flight plans is
activated, it becomes FPL 0, the active flight plan. This Pilot’s
guide will refer to FPL 0 as the “active flight plan” and FPL 1
through FPL 9 as the “numbered flight plans.” If desired, a flight
plan can be created directly in the active flight plan. This avoids
creating the flight plan in a numbered flight plan and then having
to activate it. The disadvantage is that if a numbered flight plan
is subsequently made active, the one programmed directly into
FPL 0 will be lost.
•
Modifications may be made to FPL 0 without affecting the way it
is stored as a numbered flight plan.
•
Unless Direct To operation is being used, the active flight plan
(FPL 0) must contain at least two waypoints. Otherwise, the
KLX 135 navigation system will be flagged.
