INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the Bendix/King KLX 135A GPS/COMM. If
you’ve never used GPS before, you’ll find it will change the way you
fly. The moving map graphics with special use airspace boundaries
will give you an extra feeling of security during all of your time in the
air. All in all, it will let you concentrate on the fun in flying, and isn’t
that why you learned to fly in the first place?
The convenient QuickTune™ feature will allow you to easily look up
the frequency for the appropriate airport, nearest Flight Service
Station, or ARTCC/FIR, then transfer it to the KLX 135A COMM
transceiver.
This Pilot's Guide should be of great help to you. It is written in plain,
simple English and it assumes you are not an experienced user of
GPS or other type of long range navigation equipment. If you are
experienced, so much the better. This Pilot's Guide also includes
hundreds of sample screen figures and other illustrations to make
your learning easier. It is designed so that you can start at the front
and progress in the order presented; however, you may want to skip
around and learn things in your own order. Also, on page iv, there is
an index of frequently used procedures which will help you find the
page that describes how to do exactly what you want to do. There
are also several appendices in the back of the manual that you may
find useful from time to time.
Be sure to keep this Pilot's Guide handy with you in the airplane. It is
designed to fit easily in the glove box, or in the seat pocket. The KLX
135A is very simple to operate, but the Pilot's Guide can sure be of
help to you.
One last thing. Don't get so involved in learning to use the KLX 135A
that you forget to fly the airplane. Be careful, and remember to keep
a close eye out for other aircraft.
