active flight plan. For example, after takeoff, it is 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 135A 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 way-
point 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 4-41).
3. Press
D
. The display will
change to the Direct To Page
(figure 4-42), with the identifier of
the selected waypoint.
4. Press
F
to approve the Direct
To. The NAV 1 page will be
displayed (figure 4-43) 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 4-44). 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 .
