III. Flying with the EKP-IV
This section will review creation of Waypoints and Flight Plans, the primary uses of the buttons on
the EKP-IV and all other related functions.
A. THE GOTO BUTTON
The GOTO button on the EKP-IV is primarily used to create a temporary Flight Plan that is not
stored in the memory of the unit. It can be used to find any of the Aeronautical Database categories,
such as Airports, VOR’s, NDB’s and Intersections. You can also use it to find previously entered User
Waypoints or a specific Lat/Lon position. All of these options are available for a direct Flight Plan
using the GOTO button. Once a direct GOTO is created, the GOTO button is also used to select
the Approach data for the destination airport (see Section 3.7.2 above).
The GOTO button uses a ‘smart search’ feature that automatically filters the available selections as
the characters are changed in the input field. Pausing for 1-2 seconds after each letter is selected
will allow for the smart search to filter the input.
If an airport is used for the direct waypoint, then once it is selected, the toggle can be used to scroll
through the Frequencies, Approaches and Runway info on that specific airport.

B. THE PAGE BUTTON
Pressing the PAGE button once will bring up a list of the 20 nearest objects which include runways,
including private airports, with a runway length of at least 500 feet. The search results are calculated
from the current position fix, or if no fix is available, from the cursor position.
