Continuous Display Of Nearest Airport; Selecting The Nearest Airport Criteria - Honeywell KLN 90B GPS Abbreviated Operation Manual

• 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).

9.3 Continuous Display Of Nearest Airport

When the nearest airport page is initially displayed, "NR 1" is displayed in
the upper right hand corner of the page to designate this airport as the
nearest airport. However, if you continue to fly along your flight plan with
this page selected, the same airport will be displayed and its position in
the nearest airport list will change from NR 1 to NR 2, NR 3, NR 4 ... NR 9
until finally it won't be in the nearest airport list at all. The reason for this
is that in the event of an actual emergency once you have determined
which airport you are heading for, you don't want the nearest airport list to
update while you are maneuvering or looking up data on the other airport
pages for that airport.
There may be times, however, when you're flying over "unfriendly" terrain
when you wish to always have to nearest airport displayed on the right
side of the screen while you view another page, such as the NAV 1 page,
on the left side. The means for doing this on the KLN 90B is the following:
1. Display the nearest airport page by pressing M followed by pressing
E.
2. Press the right C.
3. Rotate the right outer knob clockwise to position the cursor over "NR
1". As long as the cursor is left in this position, this page will update so
that the nearest airport is always shown as the flight progresses.

9.4 Selecting The Nearest Airport Criteria

The nine airports in the nearest list are the nine airports which meet the
criteria selected on the Setup 3 page (SET 3). The SET 3 page allows
you to specify what criteria you want an airport to meet before it is consid-
ered for the nearest airport list. To specify the airport criteria:
• Select the SET 3 page on the left side.
• Press the left C to turn on the left cursor function. The cursor will
appear over the minimum runway length field.
• Use the left inner knob to select the minimum length runway desired for
the airport to qualify for the nearest airport list. Values between 1000
feet and 5000 feet in 100 foot increments may be selected.
