4.7.4. SELECTING WAYPOINTS BY NAME OR CITY

When you know the identifier of the desired waypoint you will use one
of the two methods just described to select it. However, what if you
know the name but you don’t know the identifier of your desired
waypoint? You’re in luck because the KLX 135 will allow you to enter
the first few characters of the name to help you find it in the data
base. We will use a couple of examples to illustrate how this is done.
For VORs and NDBs, you may use the navaid name. For airports,
you may use the airport name or the city name (where the airport is
located).

In this first example we want to view the information in the KLX 135
data base for Napoleon VOR (located just east of Kansas City) but
we don’t remember the identifier for it.

To select a VOR or NDB by navaid
name:

1.

With the cursor off, use the right
knobs to select the VOR 1 page
(figure 4-76). The VOR waypoint
in view is not important.

2.

Press

B

and then make sure

the right inner knob is pushed to
the “in” position.

3.

With the right outer knob, move
the cursor over the first character
in the VOR name which is being
displayed (figure 4-77).

4.

Change this first character to an
N” in this case (figure 4-78).

5.

Move the cursor one space to the
right and select the second char-
acter, “A” (figure 4-79).

6.

Select the third character, “P
(figure 4-80). Up pops Napoleon
and its identifier, ANX!

7.

Turn off the cursor (

B

) so you

can view other pages.
