4.8. DIRECT TO OPERATION
The
D
button is used to initiate Direct To operation (navigation from
your present position direct to your destination). When
D
is
pressed, the Direct To page will be
displayed with a flashing cursor over
a waypoint identifier (figure 4-85).
The waypoint identifier which appears
on the Direct To page is chosen by
the KLX 135 according to the
following rules:
1. If the Flight Plan 0 (FPL 0) page is displayed on the screen and
the cursor is over one of the waypoint identifiers in FPL 0 when
D
is pressed, then that waypoint identifier will appear on the
DIR page. You will appreciate this feature when you learn to use
flight plans in
section 4.10
.
OR . . .
2. If there is any waypoint page (APT, VOR, NDB, SUP, or ACT
page) in view when
D
is pressed, then the DIR page will
contain the identifier for the waypoint just viewed.
If neither condition above is occurring, then:
3. When
D
is pressed, the waypoint identifier for the current
active waypoint will be displayed on the DIR page.
If there is no active waypoint when
D
is pressed, then:
4. The Direct To page displays blanks in the waypoint identifier
field. In order for there not to be an active waypoint, there is no
Direct To waypoint and there are no waypoints in Flight Plan 0.
Now that you know the ground rules, let’s go ahead and try some
practical examples. First, let’s say we wanted to fly directly to
Wexford County Airport in Cadillac, Michigan. Its ICAO identifier is
KCAD.
