7. If Ent is flashing on the left side
of the screen, then press
F
.
This will prompt the KLX 135A to
display a waypoint page for the
waypoint identifier you just
entered (figure 3-40).
8. Verify the waypoint information
displayed, and then press
F
again to approve the waypoint
page. The display will return to
the page previously displayed
(figure 3-41).
Often, you will find yourself entering airports that begin with the same
character over and over again. In section 2.3, you learned how the
KLX 135A uses ICAO identifiers, which means that many U.S. airport
identifiers begin with the letter K. Also, many airport identifiers in
Europe begin with the letter E or the letter L. Especially when flying
VFR, you will mostly want to enter airports as Direct To or Flight Plan
waypoints. The KLX 135A has a great feature that will save you
turns of the knob when you know that the first character will probably
be a K, E, L, or other letter that is commonly used in your part of the
world. You can set the default first waypoint identifier character on
the SET 5 page.
To change the default first waypoint identifier character:
1. Select the SET 5 page (figure 3-
42) and turn on the cursor (
B
)
(figure 3-43).
2. Use the right inner knob to select
the desired character
(figure 3-44), such as a K in the
U.S., a C in Canada, a P in
Alaska, an E or an L in Europe,
etc.
