Operating Logic (continued)
If you wanted to fly to a different waypoint type, such as a VOR, you
would begin by changing the type. Turn the Large knob until the
waypoint type flashes.
AIRPORT AAP
HOUSTON
CITY TX USA
Select a different waypoint type by turning the Small knob.
VOR ABA
ARUBA
FACIL ANTILL
Turning the Large knob counter-clockwise causes the identifier to
again flash.
VOR ABA
ARUBA
FACIL ANTILL
Use the knobs to choose the remaining characters in the identifier, until
the desired waypoint is displayed.
VOR CCR
CONCORD
FACIL CA USA
The last step is to press the ENT button. As far as the system memory is
concerned, nothing has changed until ENT is pressed. If you did not
want to navigate to the displayed waypoint, you would simply press
any mode button. Any time you want to abort a procedure, simply
press a mode button.
The Waypoint Retriever can also be used to look up waypoints using
the city or facility name. Refer to Database Mode, Retrieving a
Waypoint for full details.
