When the active waypoint is a VOR, the published magnetic
variation for the VOR is utilized rather than the calculated
magnetic variation.

EFFECTS OF SWITCHING FROM EN ROUTE-OBS

MODE TO EN ROUTE-LEG MODE

The following mode transition occurs if the KLX 135A is in the En
Route-OBS mode with a TO indication and the mode is switched to
the En Route-Leg mode:

1.

The waypoint that was active while in the OBS mode remains the
active waypoint when the En route-Leg mode is activated. The
system does not attempt to orient itself on a leg of the active
flight plan.

2.

The selected course (Obs) that was active in the OBS mode
prior to switching to Leg mode becomes the desired track (Dtk) in
the Leg mode.

3.

With the exception of #2 above, the characteristics of normal
Direct To operation apply.

4.

If the active waypoint was part of the active flight plan (FPL 0),
the system will revert to normal flight plan operation once the
active waypoint is reached.

If, on the other hand, the KLX 135A is showing a FROM indication
when the mode is switched from En Route-OBS to En Route-Leg
mode, the system will immediately orient itself on the nearest leg of
the flight plan.

4.5.5.

ACTIVATING A WAYPOINT WHILE IN THE EN ROUTE-

OBS MODE

While in the En route-OBS mode, you may activate another waypoint
by using the normal Direct To method or by using a second method.
This second method activates another waypoint without changing the
selected course (OBS). In other words, when the new waypoint is
activated, the D-Bar is not necessarily
recentered. In figure 4-100 the
KLX 135A is in the En Route-OBS
mode and the selected course is
149°. You have just crossed ARG
and desire to activate the next
waypoint in the flight plan, GQE,
without recentering the D-Bar.
