4.2.3 Viewing The Waypoint Pages For The Active

Flight Plan Waypoints

The waypoint pages(s) for each of the waypoints in the
active flight plan may be easily displayed by selecting the
Active Waypoint page type (ACT) on the right side.
When the ACT page type is first selected, the waypoint
page for the active waypoint will be displayed (figure 4-
37). The location of the waypoint in the flight plan (way-
point 1, waypoint 2, etc.) is annunciated with a number to
the left of the identifier. In addition, an arrow to the left of
the waypoint number designates the active waypoint.
The letter to the far right of the identifier designates the
type of waypoint: A = airport, V = VOR, N = NDB, I =
intersection, S = supplemental or T = terminal (for details
on terminal waypoints see section 6.1.2). For VORs hav-
ing DME capability, the letter D is displayed between the
VOR identifier and the V. To view the other waypoints in
the flight plan, pull the right inner knob to the “out” posi-
tion and turn it to view each of the waypoints in the order
they are contained in the flight plan (figure 4-38). For air-
port waypoints, the right inner knob may be pushed back
to the “in” position and rotated to display any of the eight
airport pages (figure 4-39). Pulling the knob back out will
allow further scanning of the waypoint pages in the active
flight plan.

4.2.4 Combining Direct To And Flight Plan Operation
It is very common when using flight plan operation to use
the Direct To function to proceed directly to a waypoint
which exists in the flight plan. For example, after takeoff it
is common to receive radar vectors in the terminal area
and then be given a clearance direct to the first point in
the flight plan that was filed. The KLN 900 makes this
kind of operation very easy to accomplish. Whenever
you do a Direct To operation to a waypoint which is in the
active flight Plan (FPL 0), the system will provide naviga-
tion to the waypoint and then automatically resume navi-
gation along the flight plan when the Direct To waypoint is
reached. Waypoints which exist prior to the Direct To
waypoint in the active flight plan are bypassed. Of
course, the active flight plan will never be resumed if the
Direct To operation is to a waypoint which is not in the
active flight plan.

Any of the several methods previously described for initi-
ating Direct To operation may be used, although the one
below is the easiest for this application. The procedure
below takes advantage of rule number 1 described in
section 3.8.
