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. If you are using this operatio

A database page is now displayed showing the date the database expires or the date it expired. Press E to acknowledge the information displayed on this page. 4. A page displaying the letters PRESENT POS at the top will now be on the left side of the screen. In a couple of minutes or less, this page will display

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 • Push the Power/Brightness knob located in the upper right corner of unit to the “in” position. The unit is turned off by pulling this knob to the “out” position. • After a few seconds of warm up, the screen will show a T

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. This usually will take less than 12 minutes, so the KLN 90B should be able to determine its position by the time you have taxied to the runway. However, if quicker time to lock onto satellites is required it is possible to shorten this time by giving the KL

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. The altimeter baro set field will not be a cursor field if the KLN 90B is inter- faced to certain air data/altimeter systems which update the baro set field when the aircraft’s altimeter baro setting is updated.

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. For other areas of the world the airport identifier stored in the KLN 90B database is identical to how it is charted. Like all rules there are also exceptions to the guidelines given above. If the above rules do not work it is possible to scan throu

waypoints in the database having the identifier. Below the identifier is a list of the waypoint types (APT, VOR, NDB, INT, SUP) and the associated countries which use the identifier. To see an example of a Duplicate Waypoint page perform the following steps: • Press D. • Turn the left inner knob to select the letter D as a waypoint identifier. “D” is the full identifier of several waypoints in the KLN 90B database. Press E. The Duplicate Waypoint page will be displayed on the left side . At

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). The Self Test and Database pages should be approved. 2. The aircraft must be located such t

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. If neither of the conditions above are occurring, then: 4. When D is pressed, the waypoint identifier for the current active waypoint will be displayed. 5.

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”. NAV pages 1,2,3, and 5 are briefly described here. The
