Next, since we’ll be departing from Runway 8, we set our Heading Bug to runway
heading, 080°.
Set the Heading Bug
1. Press the Right Knob until HDG displays above the knob and the HDG eld
is enabled for editing, both rendered in magenta (Figure 3-9). The Heading
Bug will also be rendered in magenta, and a dashed magenta line will extend
from the ownship symbol to the Heading Bug to make it easier to see the
bug position.
2. Rotate the Right Knob to change the value of the Heading eld. Rotate
clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease, the value. Once
the correct heading is selected and after 10 seconds of inaction, the eld is
disabled and the label and eld are rendered in cyan (Figure 3-10).
We call Clearance Delivery to pick up our IFR clearance. It is:
“Bonanza N66529 is cleared to the Reno/Tahoe Airport via the LARGO2 departure,
Zuni (ZUN) transition, then as led. Maintain 7,000, expect 10,000 in ve minutes.
Departure frequency is 127.4. Squawk 1234.”
Now we set up our avionics for an instrument departure. We set our transponder code
and comm radio frequencies. Then we enter our ight plan into GPS1, load the LARGO2
departure, crossll into GPS2, and activate the ight plan.
The LARGO2 departure calls for vectors to our route. From past experience, we expect
to be vectored past ABQ VOR, and then given a vector to join the departure on the
ABQ-to-ZUN leg (a 255º course). While we’ll be navigating on GPS, for situational
awareness we tune those rst two VOR xes into our nav radios. We tune ABQ VOR
(113.2) into VLOC1 and ZUN VOR (113.4) into VLOC2.
