the waypoint number designates the active way-
point. The letter to the far right of the identifier
designates the type of waypoint: A = airport, V =
VOR, N = NDB, I = intersection, S = supple-
mental, or T=Terminal (see KLN 900 Pilot’s
Guide). For VOR’s having 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”
position and turn it to view each of the waypoints
in the order they are contained in the flight plan.
For airport waypoints, the right inner knob may be pushed back to the “in”
position and rotated to display any of the six airport pages. Pulling the
knob back out will allow further scanning of the waypoint pages in the
active flight plan.
13.4 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 very normal 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 way-
point which is in the active flight plan (FPL 0) the system will provide navi-
gation to the waypoint and then automatically resume navigation 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 opera-
tion is to a waypoint which is not in the active flight plan.
Any of the several methods previously described for initiating Direct To
operation may be used, although the following are the easiest for this
application. The first procedure takes advantage of rule number 1
described in section 4.0.
• Select the FPL 0 page on the left side.
• Press the left C and then use the left outer knob to position the cursor
over the desired waypoint.
• Press D. The waypoint page for the selected waypoint in FPL 0 will
be displayed on the right side.
• Press E to approve the waypoint page. The Direct To waypoint iden-
tifier in the active flight plan will now be preceded by just an arrow. The
B
B symbol is not displayed since there is no “from” waypoint in the flight
plan.
