4.10. OPERATING FROM THE ACTIVE FLIGHT PLAN

4.10.1. GENERAL PROCEDURES

Everything you have learned in this Pilot’s Guide thus far is
applicable to using the KLX 135 for flight plan operation. The
following rules and considerations apply for flight plan operation while
the KLX 135 is in the En route-Leg mode:

Always verify that you are viewing the active flight plan page

(FPL 0) and not one of the other numbered flight plan pages.

The active leg of the flight plan is designated with a

symbol.

A leg is defined as the course line between a pair of waypoint (a
“from” waypoint and a “to” waypoint). The head of the arrow is
positioned to the left of and points to the active “to” waypoint. In

figure 4-122, SLC (Salt Lake City
VOR) is the “to” waypoint. The
tail of the

symbol is positioned

to the left of the “from” waypoint.
KPVU (Provo Municipal) is the
“from” waypoint in figure 4-122.
The

symbol is not displayed

unless the KLX 135 is actually receiving GPS signals suitable for
navigation.

(Note: If the unit is in the take-home mode, it has

been “tricked” into thinking it is receiving signals and therefore

the

symbol can be displayed).

Also, the

symbol

will not be displayed if Direct To
navigation is occurring and the
Direct To waypoint is not in FPL
0. If in doubt as to whether or not
Direct To operation is occurring,
view the NAV 1 or NAV 4 page.
If the top line shows the D

symbol (figure 4-123) instead of a
“from” waypoint (figure 4-124),
then Direct To navigation is
