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 3-8). 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 Selected 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 3-9).
We call Clearance Delivery to pick up our clearance. It is:
Baron N1234 is cleared to the Reno/Tahoe Airport as led; Maintain 7,000; Expect
10,000 in ve minutes; Departure frequency is 127.4; Squawk 0123.
We copy and read back our clearance, and then set up our avionics for departure. We
set our transponder code and comm radio frequencies. Then we enter our ight plan
into GPS1, and activate the ight plan. We make sure the CDI button on the 430W is set
to GPS.
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 navigate with
GPS, for situational awareness, we tune those rst two VOR xes into our nav radios. We
tune the ABQ VOR (113.2) into VLOC1 and the ZUN VOR (113.4) into VLOC2.
