7.If Entis flashing on the left side of

the screen, then press F. This

will prompt the KLN 35A to dis-

play a waypoint page for the

waypoint identifier you just

entered (figure 3-41).

8.Verify the waypoint information

displayed, and then press F

again to approve the waypoint

page. The display will return to

the page previously displayed

(figure 3-42).

Often, you will find yourself entering airports that begin with the same

character over and over again. In section 2.3, you learned how the

KLN 35A uses ICAO identifiers, which means that many U.S. airport

identifiers begin with the letter K. Also, many airport identifiers in

Europe begin with the letter E or the letter L. Especially when flying

VFR, you will mostly want to enter airports as Direct To or Flight Plan

waypoints. The KLN 35A has a great feature that will save you turns

of the knob when you know that the first character will probably be a

K, E, L, or other letter that is commonly used in your part of the world.

You can set the default first waypoint identifier character on the SET

5 page.

To change the default first waypoint identifier character:

1.Select the SET 5 page (figure 3-

43) and turn on the cursor (B)

(figure 3-44).

2.Use the right inner knob to select

the desired character

(figure 3-45), such as a K in the

U.S., a C in Canada, a P in

Alaska, an E or an L in Europe,

etc.
