5. Press the ENT button to display the
waypoint page for the waypoint just
entered.
6. Press the ENT button again to display the
waypoint page for the newly created
reference waypoint. The waypoint that
was used to create the reference waypoint
is automatically inserted into the REF field.
The radial and distance as well as the
latitude and longitude are also displayed.
The left side of the screen shows where
the reference waypoint will be inserted in
the flight plan.
The KLN 90B automatically names the reference
waypoint by appending the first available alphabetic
character to the identifier of the waypoint used to
define the reference waypoint. TXK becomes TXKA,
etc. Refer to Figure 3D-106. If TXK is used again to
create a second reference waypoint in another flight
plan, this second reference waypoint would be named
TXKB. If a reference waypoint is created using a
waypoint with a five-character identifier, the fifth
character will be dropped, e. g., DUSTT becomes
DUSTA.
