BendixKing KLX 135A - Pilots Guide - Manual (Page 127)

When navigation is within the primary
coverage area, the SET 2 page does
not display magnetic variation (figure
4-104). However, under the condi-
tions stated above, a user magnetic
variation may be entered on line 4 of
the SET 2 page.
To enter the local magnetic variation manually on the SET 2
page:
1. Turn on the cursor ( B ).
2. Move the cursor over the
numerical field on line 4
(figure 4-105).
3. Use the right knobs to select the
magnetic variation, from 0 to 99
degrees.
4. Move the flashing part of the
cursor to the E/W (east/west) field
and select whether the magnetic
variation is easterly or westerly
(figure 4-106).
5. Press
F
to approve and turn the cursor (
B
) off.
4.7. USING THE TAKE-HOME MODE
It is very likely that the KLX 135A will become your "best friend" in the
cockpit, especially in VFR flight. As with any good friend, you may
need some time to get well-acquainted. This will allow you to utilize it
to the maximum extent. A great way to get to know the KLX 135A is
to use it outside the airplane, using what we call the "take-home
mode".
There are products available which allow you to use the KLX 135A at
your home, office, or hotel to have get-acquainted time in the take-
home mode, for instance the Commander 2000 from Lone Star
Aviation. It is also helpful to do flight planning and perform data base
updates outside the airplane, perhaps with a home personal
computer.
