5.1. CALCULATOR PAGES
The Calculator (CAL) pages are used for trip planning. They are con-
venient both on the ground before you begin your flight, and in the
air. The CAL 1 page performs distance, bearing, and time calcula-
tions, and the CAL 2 page is for advisory fuel planning.
Data entered on any of the Calculator pages has ne effect on naviga-
tion data provided on any Navigation (NAV) or Flight Plan (FPL)
pages. You may perform trip calculations without disturbing ongoing
navigation.
NOTE: The Calculator pages rely on pilot enterable inputs for
groundspeed, fuel flow, and fuel reserve requirements. These pages
do not utilize inputs from fuel flow or air data sensors.
5.1.1. THE CALCULATOR (CAL) 1 PAGE
The CAL 1 page allows you to do distance, bearing, and time calcula-
tions that you might otherwise need a chart, ruler, and pocket
calculator for. The KLX 135 will perform these calculations either
from waypoint to waypoint (for in-flight calculations, your present
position can be one of the waypoints), or for one of your flight plans
(active or stored).
To calculate distance, bearing, and
time from waypoint to waypoint:
1. From the CAL 1 page
(figure 5-1), turn on the cursor
(
B
). It will appear over a cyclic
field that either displays Wpt
(waypoint to waypoint) or Fpl
(flight plan).
2. For this type of calculation, the
cyclic field should display Wpt.
Press
E
to toggle if this is not
the case (figure 5-2).
3. Turn the right outer knob
clockwise to move the cursor to
the "from" waypoint in the upper
right corner of the screen
(figure 5-3).
