system does not attempt to orient itself on a leg of the active
flight plan.
2. The selected course (Obs) that was active in the OBS mode
prior to switching to Leg mode becomes the desired track (Dtk) in
the Leg mode.
3. With the exception of #2 above, the characteristics of normal
Direct To operation apply.
4. If the active waypoint was part of the active flight plan (FPL 0),
the system will revert to normal flight plan operation once the
active waypoint is reached.
If, on the other hand, the KLX 135 is showing a FROM indication
when the mode is switched from En Route-OBS to En Route-Leg
mode, the system will immediately orient itself on the nearest leg of
the flight plan.
5.3.5. ACTIVATING A WAYPOINT WHILE IN THE EN ROUTE-
OBS MODE
While in the En route-OBS mode, you may activate another waypoint
by using the normal Direct To method or by using a second method.
This second method activates another waypoint without changing the
selected course (OBS). In other
words, when the new waypoint is
activated, the D-Bar is not necessarily
recentered. In figure 5-42 the
KLX 135 is in the En Route-OBS
mode and the selected course is
149°. You have just crossed ARG
and desire to activate the next waypoint in the flight plan, GQE,
without recentering the D-Bar.
To activate a waypoint in OBS mode without changing the
selected course:
1. Press

(figure 5-43). The
rules described in section 4.8 ,
"Direct To Operation", dictate
which waypoint identifier will be
initially displayed on the Direct To
page.
