4.2 Direct To - Procedure B • Select the desired waypoint type ( APT , VOR , NDB , INT , or SUP ) on the right page. • Select the desired waypoint identifier using the following method: a. Press the right C . The cursor will be over the first character in the waypoint identifier.
• Press D . The Direct To page is displayed on the left side and it con- tains the desired waypoint identifier. • Press E to approve the waypoint page displayed on the right side.
5.0 THE NA VIGA TION P AGES As you would expect, the NAV (navigation) pages contain information relating specifically to the KLN 90B’s navigation capabilities. The KLN 90B has five NAV pages. Unlike any other pages, these pages may be selected and viewed on both the left and right sides of the screen.
contains exactly the same information as the standard NAV 1 page but spreads the data out across the entire screen making it even easier to view. 5.3 The Navigation 2 Page (NAV 2) The NAV 2 page displays the aircraft’s present position in two formats.
90B is interfaced with a source of heading in a suitable format then a heading up presentation may also be selected. When the North up dis- play is selected, viewing the NAV 5 page is like looking at a navigation chart with North at the top.
In both the North up format and the desired track up format, the aircraft’s position is depicted by a diamond. In the actual track up format and the heading up format, the aircraft’s position is depicted by an aircraft symbol. The range scale is displayed in the lower right corner of the NAV 5 page.
The map scale is also changed by using the left cursor button. To change the map scale, press the left C to place the cursor over the map scale factor at the bottom left corner of the map display.
tation choices are the same as for the NAV 5 page: North up, desired track up, actual track up, or heading up (if a proper source of heading is provided to the KLN 90B). Remember that for actual track up, graphics are displayed only when the aircraft is moving at a groundspeed greater than 2 knots.
6.0 MESSAGE P AGE Whenever the KLN 90B determines that there is a situation that requires the pilot’s attention, the message prompt ( MSG ) begins flashing in inverse video at the bottom of the display just to the right of the mode of operation. A remote message annunciator may also be installed in the aircraft instru- ment panel.
use airspace. If the special use airspace is a Class B, Class C, CTA, or TMA, the message page will also instruct you to see the Airport 4 page (airport communications) for the primary airport so that the correct com- munications frequency may be determined.

8.6 The Airport 5 Page (APT 5) The Airport 5 page is used to store and display user-entered remarks. Up to 100 airports may contain these remarks. A remark may contain up to three lines of eleven characters each. Letters, numbers, hyphens, and spaces may be used in the remark.
CUSTMS-REST Customs facilities are available on a restricted basis, check with the airport before planning to use CUSTMS-ADCS Customs are available for private aircraft arriving to the U.S. from Canada or Mexico. Advance notice of arrival to customs officers is to be included in the flight plan transmitted to an FAA facility.
8.10 The VOR Page The VOR page contains the following information: • VOR identifier. An arrow precedes the identifier if it is the active way- point. • The letter “ D ” appears following the VOR identifier if the VOR has DME capability. • The name of the VOR.
8.12 The Intersection Page (INT) The Intersection pages contain low altitude, high altitude, approach, and SID/STAR intersections as well as outer markers and outer compass locators . The following information is displayed for Intersection pages: • The intersection, outer marker, or outer compass locator name.
9.0 NEAREST AIRPORTS, VORS, AND NDBS 9.1 Viewing The Nearest Airports, VORs, And NDBs The KLN 90B computes the nine nearest airports, the nine nearest VORs, and the nine nearest NDBs to the aircraft’s present position. There is no “nearest” list for intersection and supplemental waypoints.
• Press E . The waypoint page for the nearest airport is now displayed on the right side. The right inner knob may now be used in the normal manner to scan the other nearest airports (knob in the “out” position) or to view all eight airport pages for a specific airport (knob in the “in” posi- tion).
• Rotate the left outer knob one step clockwise to position the cursor over the runway surface criteria. • Turn the left inner knob to select either HRD SFT or to select HRD . If HRD SFT is chosen, then both hard and soft surface runways meeting the required runway length will be included in the nearest airport list.
NOTE : If a waypoint page containing a latitude and longitude is displayed instead of the above text, the identifier entered already exists in the user database.
• Use the right inner and outer knobs to select the radial (from the refer- ence waypoint). The radial may be selected to the nearest tenth of a degree. • Press E . The cursor will move to the dashes to the right of DIS . • Use the right inner and outer knobs to select the distance.
1 1.0 DELETING USER W A YPOINTS A listing of all user-defined waypoints is contained on the Other 3 page ( OTH 3 ). The user-defined waypoints are listed by category; airports ( A ) are first, VORs ( V ) are second, NDBs ( N ) are third, Intersections ( I ) are fourth, and Supplemental waypoints ( S ) are last.
vated, it becomes FPL 0, the active flight plan. This manual will refer to FPL 0 as the “active flight plan” and FPL 1 through FPL 25 as the “num- bered flight plans”. If desired, a flight plan can be created directly in the active flight plan.
page allowing creation of a user defined waypoint will appear on the right side. Refer to section 10.0, “CREATING USER WAYPOINTS”, for instruction on how to define a user created waypoint. • Press E again to approve the waypoint page being displayed.
