common to receive vectors in the terminal area and then be given a
clearance direct to the first point in the flight plan that was filed. The
KLX 135, as an advisory navigation source, makes this kind of
operation very easy to accomplish. Whenever you do a Direct To
operation to a waypoint which is in the active flight plan (FPL 0), the
system will provide navigation to the waypoint and then automatically
resume navigation along the flight plan when the Direct To waypoint
is reached. Waypoints which exist prior to the Direct To waypoint in
the active flight plan are bypassed. Of course, the active flight plan
will never be resumed if the Direct To operation is to a waypoint
which is not in the active flight plan.
Any of the several methods previously described for initiating Direct
To operation may be used, although the one below is the easiest for
this application.
To fly direct to a waypoint in the active flight plan (FPL 0):
1. Select the FPL 0 page.
2. Turn on the cursor (
B
) and use
the left outer knob to position the
cursor over the desired waypoint
(figure 4-136).
3. Press
D
. The display will
change to the Direct To Page
(figure 4-137), with the identifier
of the selected waypoint.
4. Press
F
to approve the Direct
To. The NAV 1 page will be
displayed (figure 4-138) reflecting
the new active waypoint.
5. If you now turn back to the FPL 0
page, you will see that the active
waypoint is now preceded by an
arrow only, instead of the
symbol (figure 4-139). This is
because there is no “from”
waypoint in the flight plan.
If it is desired to cancel the Direct To
operation prior to reaching the Direct
To waypoint in order to proceed along the flight plan leg, press
D
,
then press
E
, then
F
.
