Selecting Identifiers Using The Data/Scan Knob; Scanning Flightplan Waypoints; Finding User Defined Areas By Identifier - Honeywell Bendix/King KMD 550 Pilot's Manual Addendum

Normal Operation
2. Press the CHANGE AREA softkey to view reports for either
NEAREST to present position, USER DEFINED location, DESTINA-
TION (last waypoint in a flightplan) or FPLN WPT (any waypoint in an
active flightplan). The softkey cycles through the AREAs as shown in
Figure 85.
These four selectable areas are used to make it easier to find all the
reports near a specific location without having to know the exact identifier
of the reporting station. Again, refer to Figure 84 to understand the rela-
tionship between the selected AREA and the selected MODE.
SELECTING IDENTIFIERS
USING THE DATA/SCAN
KNOB
Scanning Flightplan
Waypoints
If FPLN WPT is selected in
the AREA field (as shown in
Figure 86), the SCAN Knob
can be used to sequence
through all the waypoints on
Figure 86
the active flightplan. The next
waypoint from the current position will be displayed.
Turn the inner knob clockwise to sequence forward through the way-
points. Turn the inner counter-clockwise to sequence backward through
the waypoints.
Finding User Defined
Areas By Identifier
If USER DEFINED has been
selected, as in Figure 87, use
the Control Knob to enter
data (note cursor position in
Figure 87) or scan through
available location options.
The following is an example
of using this feature.
