4.9.1. CREATING A FLIGHT PLAN
A flight plan for a flight from Lakefront airport in New Orleans, LA. to
St. Petersburg/Clearwater, FL. International airport will be used as an
example of how to create a flight plan. The waypoints making up the
flight plan are: KNEW (Lakefront airport), GPT (Gulfport VOR), SJI
(Semmes VOR), CEW (Crestview VOR), MAI (Marianna VOR), TLH
(Tallahassee VOR), CTY (Cross City VOR), and KPIE
(St. Petersburg/Clearwater International airport).
To create a flight plan:
1.
Select the flight plan (FPL) pages with the right outer knob.
2.
Select a flight plan page
(preferably other than FPL 0)
which does not contain a flight
plan (figure 4-96). If all of the
flight plan pages contain flight
plans, refer to
section 4.9.6
,
“Deleting Flight Plans”.
3.
Turn on the cursor (
B
).
NOTE: The KLX 135 flight plan operation is designed so that the first
waypoint in the flight plan should always be the departure point.
Remember to enter the K, P, or C prefix for certain airports in the
United States, Alaska (some, but not all cases), or Canada, respec-
tively. See
section 2.3
, “ICAO Identifiers”.
4.
Use the right inner knob to select
the first character of the departure
waypoint identifier (figure 4-97).
If you have set the default first
waypoint character to K on the
SET 5 page, you will just need
one turn clockwise (see
section
4.4.2
, “Data Entry”)
5.
Turn the right outer knob to move the flashing part of the cursor
over the second character, then select the desired character.
6.
Use the above procedure to
select the entire identifier for the
first waypoint (figure 4-98).
