Selecting An Approach - Honeywell KLN 900s Pilot's Manual

6.1.1 Selecting An Approach

The first item in the list from the previous section is to
select and load the approach into the active flight plan.
Approaches are selected from the APT 8 (or ACT 8) page
of the airport for which you desire to shoot the approach.
If you are operating from a flight plan, the easiest way to
get to the approach information is by turning to the ACT
page for your destination as described in section 4.2.3.
The following example will use the VOR or GPS RWY
25R approach to Los Angeles International airport
(KLAX).
1. Turn to one of the APT pages and select KLAX by
using the right cursor, inner, and outer knobs (figure 6-2)
2. Use the right inner knob to turn to the APT 8 page. If
you selected KLAX from the APT 1 page turn the inner
knob one click counter-clockwise to reach the APT 8
page.
3. Turn the right cursor on by pressing the right C.
The cursor comes up on the first approach in the list of
approaches. Use the right outer knob to move the cursor
to different approaches (figure 6-3). If there are more
than 5 approaches to an airport you can move the cursor
down to "scroll" the other procedures into view by rotating
the right outer knob.
4. With the flashing cursor over "VOR 25R" press E.
5. The KLN 900 will present a list of Initial Approach
Fixes (IAFs) corresponding to this approach. In this
example we want the ELMOO IAF. Select this by press-
ing E when the cursor is over ELMOO (figure 6-4).
Note: If there is only one IAF for a procedure, then the
KLN 900 will skip this step and go on to the next step.
In many cases ATC will not tell you explicitly which IAF to
use. In these cases you need to select an IAF which is
closest to the route of flight that you expect. If you expect
radar vectors, then the selection of the correct IAF is less
important because you will be given vectors to the FAF
and will not need to use the IAF.
6. The KLN 900 next presents a list of waypoints that
make up the approach. Review these waypoints to make
sure that you have selected the correct IAF. If there are
more than four waypoints in the approach you can move
the cursor up to "scroll" the other waypoints into view by
rotating the right outer knob (figure 6-5).
7. If the cursor is over LOAD IN FPL (figure 6-6) and
you press E, then KLN 900 checks to see if this airport
is in the active flight plan. If it is not, the KLN 900 will ask
if you want to add the approach and the airport reference
point to the active flight plan (FPL 0). In most cases this
is desirable, so press E (figure 6-7).
