3.8.4. Viewing the Nearest Center Frequencies
The KLN 35A also stores in its data base the low altitude boundaries
of each of the ARTCC “Centers”. The KLN 35A determines the prop-
er Center to contact and the appropriate frequencies to use for the
aircraft’s present position. Pressing the
G
button and selecting the
CTR option will display this informa-
tion to you (figure 3-94). Next time
you wish to obtain VFR flight following
or communicate with Center for any
reason, you have a quick way to get a
frequency for establishing contact!
Appendix D
contains a listing of
Center abbreviations used on the CTR page.
NOTE: Frequencies for Area Control Centers are displayed on the
CTR page for some areas of the world.
3.9. 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 3-95). The waypoint
identifier which appears on the Direct
To page is chosen by the KLN 35A
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 4.2
.
2.
If the KLN 35A is displaying the NAV 4 page and the right inner
knob is in the “out” position, then the waypoint highlighted in the
lower right hand corner of the NAV 4 map display will be the
default waypoint. You will also find this feature useful when oper-
ating from the active flight plan.
