  • Page 5: Preview Of Operation

    PREVIEW OF OPERATION To give you an idea of how easy the KLN 90B is to operate, the following operational preview is presented. This operational preview assumes the KLN 90B has been properly installed, the unit was previously operational in the same general geographical location, and that no peripheral equip- ment interfaced with the KLN 90B (such as external HSIs, CDIs, autopi- lots, RMIs, fuel flow systems, moving map displays, etc.) is to be used at this time.
  • Page 6 test page has been approved. Press the GPS CRS button to put the unit into the LEG mode. After the GPS CRS button indicates LEG, then the KLN 90B will continue the start-up process.) 3. A database page is now displayed showing the date the database expires or the date it expired.
  • Page 7: Turn On

    IMPORTANT: This abbreviated operation manual does not include any information on how to use the KLN 90B for flying approaches or SID/STAR procedures. Refer to the KLN 90B Pilot’s Guide and the aircraft flight manual supplement for instructions on these procedures. 1.0 TURN ON •...
  • Page 8 The KLN 90B stores the correct time, date and last location of the aircraft in memory. If any of these parameters are not correct then the GPS receiver in the KLN 90B will automatically enter a mode in which it can determine this information.
  • Page 9 updated on the Self Test page when power is first applied to the KLN 90B and on the Altitude page each time a new baro correction is made to the aircraft’s altimeter. The altimeter baro setting may be changed at a later time from inches to millibars (or vice versa) on the SET 7 page.

    NOTE: If you are entering an airport identifier that is all letters (no num- bers), then it will begin with a “K” prefix in the Contiguous U.S., a “P” in Alaska, or a “C” in Canada. If there are numbers in the identifier, then a prefix is not used.

  • Page 15 the almanac data will become out of date only if the KLN 90B hasn’t been used for the previous six months or longer. Collecting new almanac data takes place automatically if the data is more than six months old. If the almanac data is out of date and needs to be collected, the KLN 90B will take a few minutes to acquire your present position (usually about six (6) minutes, but not more than 12 minutes).
  • Page 16: Direct To Navigation

    • Press E to view the waypoint page on the right side. • Press E again to confirm the waypoint page. NOTE: As an alternative, you can also enter the approximate latitude and longitude of your present position directly on the SET 1 page instead of entering a waypoint identifier.
  • Page 17: Direct To - Procedure A

    If this condition isn’t occurring, then: 3. If there is any waypoint page (APT 1-8 page, VOR page, NDB page, INT page, SUP page, or ACT page) in view on the right side when D is pressed, then the Direct To page will contain the identifier for the way- point page being viewed on the right side.
  • Page 18: Direct To - Procedure B

    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.
  • Page 19: To Recenter The D-Bar

    • 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. The right side will display the NAV 1 page, and the left side will return to the page which was displayed prior to pressing D (unless the NAV 1 page was on the left side in which case the pages will revert to the state they were in prior to the direct to operation).
  • Page 20: The Navigation

    5.0 THE NAVIGATION PAGES 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. The procedure for selecting specific pages, including the NAV pages, was described previously under “BASIC OPERATION OF PANEL CON- TROLS”.
  • Page 21: The Navigation 2 Page (Nav 2)

    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. The first format is in terms of the distance and radial from a nearby VOR.
  • Page 22 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.
  • Page 23: The Super Nav 5 Page

    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.
  • Page 24 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. Turn the left inner knob to select a map scale.
  • Page 25 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.
  • Page 26: Message Page

    6.0 MESSAGE PAGE 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.
  • Page 27 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.

    Method 1: a. Press the right C. The cursor will be over the first character in the waypoint identifier. b. Rotate the right inner knob to select the first character of the desired identifier. c. Turn the right outer knob one step clockwise to move the cursor to the second character and then use the right inner knob to select the second character.
  • Page 30: The Airport 2 Page (Apt 2)

    8.3 The Airport 2 Page (APT 2) The Airport 2 page contains the following information: • Airport identifier. An arrow precedes the identifier if it is the active way- point. • The city where the airport is located. • The state if the airport is located in the United States, the Province if located in Canada, or the country if located outside the United States and Canada.
  • Page 31: The Airport 4 Page (Apt 4)

    • 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.
  • Page 40: Creating A Waypoint At The Present Position

    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. Another identifier must be chosen. 10.1 Creating A Waypoint At The Present Position The first method of creating a user-defined waypoint is to define it at your present position (the position shown on the NAV 2 page).

    13.2 Turn Anticipation And Waypoint Alerting Prior to reaching a waypoint in the active flight plan, the KLN 90B will pro- vide navigation along a curved path segment to ensure a smooth transi- tion between two adjacent legs in the flight plan. That is, the CDI or HSI left/right deviation will be referenced to the dashed line in the following figure.

    point page for the active waypoint will be displayed. The location of the waypoint in the flight plan (waypoint 1, waypoint 2, etc.) is annunciated with a number to the left of the identifier. In addition, an arrow to the left of the waypoint number designates the active waypoint.
  • Page 50: The Distance/Time

    The second method takes advantage of rule number 2 described in section 4.0. To use this method: • Display the Super NAV 5 page by selecting NAV 5 on both sides of the display. • Pull out the right inner knob. A “window” will appear in the bottom right hand corner that has the current active waypoint in reverse video.
