BendixKing KLX 135A - Pilots Guide - Manual (Page 95)

3. We’ve only flown about 100 nautical miles, but we begin wonder-
ing where we would go if an engine suddenly started running
rough. We decide to use the KLX 135A to determine where the
nearest airports are from our present location. To view the near-
est airports press
C and then press F twice. The nearest
airport is Hope Municipal (M18) which is eight nautical miles from
our position on a bearing to the airport of 11 degrees. You now
rotate the right inner knob to view the other APT pages for Hope
Municipal. We learn, for example, that it is located in Hope,
Arkansas, and has two hard surface runways that are each 5500
feet in length. By pulling the right inner knob to the “out” position,
you may now scan clockwise through the remaining eight airports
in the nearest airport list.
4. For the majority of the en route portion of the flight, you select the
NAV 5 page’s moving map display. Pressing the right
B
button, you select the 30 nautical mile range scale using the right
inner knob. Moving the cursor to Menu? And pressing
F
brings up the display menu on the screen. You then use the right
knobs to select APT:on and SUA:on so that nearby airports and
special use airspace (SUA) are shown on the moving map
display. While the menu is displayed, select the track up map
orientation (TK ) as well, Pressing the
B
button again
removes the menu from the screen.
5. Since it is a good idea to not rely on just one navigation source,
we suggest you cross check the KLX 135A position against other
equipment in the aircraft. The NAV 2 page indicates we are
presently located on the Texarkana (TXK) VOR 68 degree radial
at a distance of 19 nautical miles. By tuning our NAV receiver
and DME to TXK, we are able to confirm that this is the correct
position.
3.16.3 TERMINAL AREA
1. About 50 nautical miles from Austin’s Mueller airport we start
preparing for our arrival. Viewing the APT 4 page for KAUS you
determine that the ATIS frequency is 119.20 MHz and tower is
121.00 MHz, and QuickTune™ these frequencies to the COMM.
2. A few minutes later, the message prompt begins flashing. When
you press C , the message page advises Airspace Alert -
Austin CL C - Below 4600 ft - CLR for KAUS Freq. The
Special Use Airspace Alert feature has determined that you are
within 10 minutes of penetrating the Austin Class C airspace.
