NOTE: Magnetic desired track may only be selected when KLX
135A is in the Leg navigation mode. When the KLX 135A is in the
OBS mode, the “desired track” is the same as the OBS selected
course displayed on line 3.

To change the data displayed in this
cyclic field, simply turn on the cursor
(

B

), rotate the right outer knob

clockwise to position the cursor over
this field (figure 3-121), and press the

E

button to choose the desired

information.

Now we move on to the map display area on the right side of the
screen. In all KLX 135A installations there are three common map
orientation formats that may be selected on the NAV 5 page: a True
North up display, a desired track up display, or an actual track up dis-
play. When the North up display is selected, viewing the NAV 5 page
is like looking at a navigation chart with North at the top. When the
desired track up display is selected the NAV 5 page is like looking at
a chart that is turned so that your course line is always pointing up.
When the actual track up display is selected, viewing the NAV 5 page
is like looking at a chart that is turned so that the direction the aircraft
is tracking over the ground is pointing up. In a no-wind condition,
actual track is identical to the aircraft’s heading.

CAUTION: When using the actual track up format it is typical for
there to be a slight delay from the time a heading change is
made until the correct map orientation is displayed. Be careful
when using either the desired track up display or the actual
track up display to not think that a heading up display is being
used.

When you are navigating with a flight plan (see section 4.2), the NAV
5 page displays the waypoints of the active flight plan (FPL 0) with
their waypoint identifiers (figure 3-121). Course lines connect the
flight plan waypoints.

When operating Direct To a waypoint
which is not in the active flight plan,
the direct to waypoint is shown on the
map, and although the waypoints of
the active flight plan are still shown on
the screen, they are not connected by
course lines (figure 3-122).
