knob to select the buffer (figure 3-
188). The buffer may be selected in
one hundred foot increments. After
the desired selection has been made,
turn the
B off.
The vertical buffer serves to “stretch” the SUA area in both directions
(up and down) by the selected buffer altitude. For example, let’s say
you have selected a buffer of 1,000 feet and the actual SUA area
exists from 5,000 feet MSL to 12,000 feet MSL. In this case you will
receive SUA alert messages if you fly at any altitude between 4,000
and 13,000 feet MSL.
CAUTION: It is the pilot’s responsibility to avoid those areas of
special use airspace where ATC clearance to penetrate is
required but has not been obtained. The KLX 135A’s special
use airspace alert is only a tool to assist the pilot and should
never be relied upon as the sole means of avoiding these areas.
3.16 SAMPLE TRIP
We’ve talked a lot about the features of the KLX 135A, and now it’s
time to put those features to work for us and try a sample trip! Our
trip will be from Adams field (KLIT) in Little Rock, Arkansas to Mueller
Municipal airport (KAUS) in Austin, Texas. The weather is perfect
and we decide to make trip VFR and fly direct to Austin.
3.16.1 PRE-DEPARTURE
1. Apply power to the KLX 135A by rotating the ON/OFF/VOLUME
knob clockwise, being careful how far you turn up the audio vol-
ume.
2. Verify that the information on the Self Test and Initialization
pages is correct, including the time and date. Enter the altimeter
baro setting. Position the cursor over Ok? and press
F to
approve the Initialization page.
3. Read the Data Base page and acknowledge it by pressing
F
.
4. The APT 4 page for Adams field (KLIT), which shows the com-
munications frequencies, is now displayed on the screen since
KLIT was the active waypoint when you last removed power from
the KLX 135A. The first APT 4 page indicates that the ATIS fre-
