Line 3: Actual track (Track) -- the aircraft’s present track over the
ground. If you are trying to establish a heading on a new leg of your
flight, it is very helpful to look at the difference between the actual
track and the desired track and adjust your heading accordingly to
allow for crosswind.
Line 4: Bearing (Brg) -- the magnetic bearing from present position
to the active waypoint.
3.10.5. THE NAVIGATION 5 (NAV 5) PAGE
The NAV 5 page is a graphical moving map which offers excellent
“bird’s-eye-view” situational awareness to you as the pilot in com-
mand. This page can show you where you are and where you’re
headed relative to your active flight plan or leg, your destination way-
point(s), the nearby airports and VORs, and even the boundaries of
nearby special use airspace!
The NAV 5 page (figure 3-120) is a
little bit different than some of the
other KLX 135A pages. Instead of
displaying the page type and number
(i.e. NAV 5) in the lower left corner of
the screen, an additional piece of
navigation data is displayed here. We’re willing to bet you’ll know this
is the NAV 5 page anyway, because of its unique graphics.
The left side of the screen displays the COMM frequencies and mode
annunciation (either Leg, or the OBS selected course), just like it
usually would, but the fourth line displays distance to go to the active
waypoint. In the lower right corner of the NAV 5 map display is a
cyclic field for which you may select:
Magnetic Desired Track (degrees)
DTK123
Groundspeed (knots)
123kt
Estimated Time Enroute (hours:minutes)
1:23
Crosstrack Correction (nautical miles)

NOTE: The “Map” selection clears this area of the screen when the
cursor is removed from the screen so it may be utilized by the map.
