To activate a waypoint in OBS mode without changing the
selected course:

1.

Press

D

(figure 4-101). The

rules described in

section 4.9,

"Direct To Operation", dictate
which waypoint identifier will be
initially displayed on the Direct To
page. Change the waypoint if
necessary.

2.

Press

D

a second time. The

annunciation DIRECT TO
changes to ACTIVATE (figure 4-
102). Repeated presses of

D

cause the annunciation to alter-
nate between DIRECT TO and

ACTIVATE. Make sure ACTIVATE is displayed.

3.

If the desired waypoint is not the one that was suggested by the

KLX 135A, enter the desired identifier. Press

F

.

4.

Press

F

to approve the

waypoint page and activate the
waypoint (figure 4-103). The
selected course does not
change, therefore this method
does not center the D-Bar like a
Direct To operation does.

4.6. OPERATION OUTSIDE THE PRIMARY COVERAGE AREA

The KLX 135A's primary coverage area is from N 74° to S 60° as
was shown in figure 4-1. Navigation outside this area is automatically
referenced to true North unless a manual input of magnetic variation
is made on the SET 2 page. The same is true anytime the KLX 135A
is in the OBS mode and the active waypoint is outside the primary
coverage area. Under both of these conditions, the following
message will be displayed on the Message page:

*Magnetic Var Invalid

All Data Referenced
To True North
