FLIGHT PLAN OPERATION

If you are going to use your KLN 94 for more than just flying VFR, direct
from one airport to the next, it will be well worth your while to learn its flight
plan capabilities. This section of the Pilot's Guide describes how to cre-
ate, edit, and fly flight plans.

4.1. CREATING AND MODIFYING FLIGHT PLANS

The following rules and considerations apply to KLN 94 flight plans:
• The KLN 94 is capable of storing in its memory 25 flight plans plus
an active flight plan (FPL 0).
• Each of the flight plans may contain up to 20 waypoints. The way-
points may consist of any combination of published waypoints from
the database or user created waypoints. The active flight plan may
contain up to 35 waypoints if it includes approach and DP/STAR
waypoints.
• The flight plans are numbered 0 through 25 (FPL 0, FPL 1, FPL 2, .
. . , FPL 25).
• The active flight plan is always FPL 0. The standard procedure is
to create a flight plan using one of the flight plans numbered as FPL
1, FPL 2, etc. When one of these numbered flight plans is activated,
it becomes FPL 0, the active flight plan. This Pilot's Guide will refer
to FPL 0 as the "active flight plan" and FPL 1 through FPL 25 as the
"numbered flight plans." If desired, a flight plan can be created
directly in the active flight plan. This avoids creating the flight plan in
a numbered flight plan and then having to activate it. The disadvan-
tage is that if a numbered flight plan is subsequently made active,
the one programmed directly into FPL 0 will be lost.
• Modifications may be made to FPL 0 without affecting the way it is
stored as a numbered flight plan.
• Unless Direct To operation is being used, the active flight plan (FPL
0) must contain at least two waypoints. Otherwise, the KLN 94 nav-
igation system will be flagged.
• The first waypoint in the flight plan should always be the departure
airport.

CREATING A FLIGHT PLAN

A flight plan for a flight from Lakefront airport in New Orleans, LA to St.
Petersburg/Clearwater, FL International airport will be used as an exam-
ple of how to create a flight plan. The waypoints making up the flight plan
