quency is 125.65 MHz, the pre-taxi clearance delivery frequency
is 118.95 MHz, and the ground control frequency is 121.90 MHz.
You use QuickTune™ to select ATIS and clearance delivery into
the active and standby frequencies, respectively. After listening
to ATIS, we contact clearance delivery for our clearance out of
the Little Rock Class C airspace. Next, we give ground control a
call and receive our taxi clearance.
5. By this time the KLX 135A has reached a NAV ready status. We
can verify this by turning to the NAV 2 page. It shows a valid
present position, in this case 3.8 nautical miles on the 320
degree radial from Little Rock (LIT) VOR.

to bring up the Direct To page. Use the right inner
and outer knobs to enter the identifier of Mueller Municipal airport
(KAUS) by using the right inner knob to select the characters and
the right outer knob to move the flashing part of the cursor to the
desired cursor location.
7. Press

played on the screen.
8. Press F again to approve the waypoint page. The NAV 1
page is now displayed. The NAV 1 page indicates it is 384

After take-off, the NAV 1 page will also display groundspeed and
estimated time en route.
3.16.2 EN ROUTE
1. We depart from runway 36 at Little Rock and are told to “maintain
runway heading.” After several radar vectors for traffic avoidance
we are finally cleared on course. The D-Bar indicates that the
radar vectors have taken us north of the original course and we
decide to proceed Direct To Austin from our present position. To
recenter the D-Bar, press
D , and then press F .
2. After departure control has directed “squawk 1200, frequency
change approved,” you decide it would be a good idea to obtain
VFR flight following. To obtain the frequency for Center, press
the
C and F buttons, move the cursor to the CTR? selection,
and press F . The KLX 135A indicates that for our position, we
should be able to contact Memphis Center on 118.85 MHz.
Again, you use QuickTune™ to select Memphis Center on the
KLX 135A COMM.
