I The KLN 90B is an extremely sophisticated navigational device, capable of providing highly accurate navigation over most parts of the world. You will be amazed at all of the navigational and other aeronautical functions that the unit can perform. However, you don’t need to mas- ter all of the KLN 90B’s capabilities at once. In just a short ti[...]

II No doubt you are going to read this entire manual just as soon as you possibly can. But just to get an idea of how easy the KLN 90B is to operate, the following oper- ational preview is presented. This operational preview assumes the KLN 90B has been properly installed, the unit was previously operational in the same general geographical locatio[...]

1-1 A basic KLN 90B system consists of a panel mounted KLN 90B GPS sensor/navigation computer, a data base cartridge, and an antenna. An altitude input is required to obtain full navigation and operational capabilities. Additional system components may be added or inter- faced to the KLN 90B which increase its features and capabilities. Some of the[...]

1-2 Two GPS antennas can be used with the KLN 90B. One is the KA91 and the other is the KA 92. The KA 92 is used with new production KLN 90Bs and the KA 91 is used with units that have been upgraded from either a KLN 90 or a KLN 90A. They are “patch” antennas designed to always be mounted on the top of the aircraft. The KLN 90B has analog outpu[...]

2-1 Rev 1 One reason the KLN 90B is such a powerful navigation system is because of its extensive database. A database is an area of electronic memory used to store a large cat- alog of navigational and aeronautical information. 2.1 FUNCTIONS OF THE D AT A B ASE The database provides two primary functions. First, it makes pilot interface with the G[...]

2-2 Rev 1 only for airports in the primary area of the database. Intersections, air route traffic control center data, flight service station frequencies, and special use airspace are also provided only for the primary area. The following is a list of the KLN 90B database contents: *AIRPORTS • Identifier • Name • City, State or Country • Ty[...]

2-3 Rev 1 2.3 USE OF IC A O IDENTIFIERS Waypoints are stored in the KLN 90B database almost exclusively by their ICAO identifiers. ICAO is an interna- tionally accepted reference for the data. In almost all cases the proper ICAO identifiers may be taken directly from Jeppesen Sanderson or government aeronautical charts. For example, Dallas and Los [...]

2-4 Rev 1 2.4.1 Computer Updating Of The Database Update information is sent to you on several 3.5” disks. In order to use this update method you must have access to an IBM compatible computer having a disk drive capa- ble of using and booting (loading) from 3.5” 1.44 megabyte high density disks. This computer also needs to have an available CO[...]

2-5 Rev 1 3. Turn on the computer being used for the database update. Insert Disk 1 into the computer’s disk drive. There can be either 2 or 3 disks used for the update so be sure the label on the outside of the disk says “Disk 1 of 2” or “Disk 1 of 3”. The program on the disk will automati- cally “boot” (load) and the computer screen[...]

2-6 Rev 1 8. Press E to acknowledge the estimated load time and begin erasing the existing database. The unit will now display ERASING DATA BASE (figure 2-6). After the database has been erased, loading of the new data begins automatically. As the new data is being loaded, the percentage of transfer is displayed (figure 2-7). 9. Monitor the compute[...]

2-7 Rev 1 1. Insert the KLN 90B insertion/removal tool (supplied with unit) in the small hole located on the right side of the front of the unit (figure 2-9). A standard 3/32 inch Allen wrench may also be used. 2. Turn the tool counterclockwise until the locking mech- anism becomes loose and then continue turning counter- clockwise until it just ba[...]

2-8 Rev 1 which side is up and which end to insert into the KLN 90B. Insert the new cartridge into the back of the unit. When the cartridge is properly inserted, the “Insert To Here” marking on the label can just be seen protruding from the rear of the KLN 90B (figure 2-11). 6 . Make sure that the front lug of the locking mechanism is in the up[...]

3-3 Rev 1 3.2 TURN-ON AND SELF TEST Enough of the preliminaries. Let’s get started into actu- ally turning the KLN 90B on and using it! Figure 3-2 will fold out and allow you to use it as a reference as you read this chapter, especially if you don’t have a KLN 90B immediately at hand. The steps below take a lot of words to explain, but you will[...]

3-4 Rev 1 The distance field (DIS) always displays 34.5 NM (nautical miles). If the KLN 90B is interfaced to a compatible indicator that displays DME distance, the indicator should be displaying 34.5 nautical miles. If the KLN 90B is interfaced with a mechanical NAV indicator such as an HSI or a course deviation indica- tor (CDI), the D-bar (deviat[...]

3-5 Rev 1 The KLN 90B needs to have the correct time, date, and position to be able to determine which satellites should be in view. This information is stored in the battery backed memory of the KLN 90B so it is not normally required to update it. If the KLN 90B has the correct time, date, and position, then the time to first fix will usually be j[...]

3-6 Rev 1 You will be able to change the time zone any time you desire on several other pages, so don’t worry if you’re not sure which time zone to choose. UTC - Coordinated Universal Time (also called “Zulu”) is always a safe choice. Once you have selected the desired time zone, turn the right outer knob one step counterclockwise to positi[...]

3-7 Rev 1 9. To enter the correct baro setting, rotate the right inner knob to select the first two digits of the correct altime- ter setting (figure 3-19). Rotate the right outer knob one step clockwise to move the flashing cursor over the third position. Use the right inner knob to select the correct number. Use the right outer and inner knobs to[...]

The NAV 2 page (present position) is now automatically displayed on the left side of the screen and the waypoint pag e for the waypoint which was active when the KLN 90B was last turned off will be displayed on the right side (figure 3-26). If the last active waypoint was an airport, the APT 4 page (airport communications) will be dis- played. Isn?[...]

3-9 Rev 1 3.3 DISPLA Y FORMA T The KLN 90B uses a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) display. The display screen is divided into segments. These seg- ments are formed by horizontal and vertical lines on the screen. Most of the time there are five segments as shown in figure 3-28. There are occasionally times when there are only four segments (figure 3-29) or o[...]

3-10 Rev 1 pages, all having the same page number, used to present all of the required information. That is, all of the inform a - tion associated with a particular page number doesn’t fit on the page being viewed. In this case the “ + ” sign indi- cates that there are two or more APT 4 pages. Figure 3- 34 shows the second APT 4 page fo r KMK[...]

3-12 Rev 1 3.4.1 Page Selection It’s now time for learning to select a desired page. NOTE: The cursor function, which is controlled by the left and right C (cursor) buttons, is not used in selecting pages and the C buttons should not be pressed at this time. If CRSR is annunciated in the lower left or right segments of the display, press the left[...]

3-14 Rev 1 3.4.2 Data Entry Now that you’ve learned how to select the desired page, you’re ready to learn the means of entering data. It is necessary to enter data, for example, in order to specify a Direct To waypoint of your choice. The general proce- dure for entering a waypoint identifier is described below. The Trip Planning 3 (TRI 3) page[...]

3-15 Rev 1 3.4.3 Alternative Waypoint Data Entry Method There is another method of data entry for waypoints which you will sometimes find convenient. This method applies when there is a page on the left side of the screen with the cursor over a field where a waypoint is enterable. You may fill the waypoint field on the left side by first selecting [...]

3-16 Rev 1 3.5 MESS A GE P A GE Whenever the KLN 90B determines that there is a situ a - tion that requires your attention, the MSG prompt begins flashing in inverse video at the bottom of the display just to the right of the mode of operation (figure 3-55). A remote message annunciator may also be installed in the aircraft instrument panel. You sh[...]

3-17 Rev 1 3.6 INITIALIZ A TION AND TIME T O FIRST FIX Since the KLN 90B stores its position and other required parameters in memory when power to the unit is removed, it is seldom necessary to aid the unit in reac h - ing a NAV ready condition. The time required from power on until the KLN 90B determines its present position and is therefore ready[...]

3-18 Rev 1 1. Select the Setup 1 page ( SET 1 ) by first turning the left outer knob to display a SET type page. Next, turn the left inner knob until the SET 1 page is selected (figure 3-57). 2. Press the left C to bring the cursor on the page over the WPT field (figure 3-58). 3. Use the left inner knob to enter the first character of the identifie[...]

3-19 Rev 1 NOTE: The groundspeed (KT) and heading ( ° ) fields are not used for actual initialization in an aircraft. However, if the KLN 90B is in the take-home mode, entering a groundspeed will allow the KLN 90B to “fly” along the active flight plan (or to a direct to waypoint) starting from the initialization waypoint. A heading may be ente[...]

3-20 Rev 1 3.7 SELECTING W A YPOINTS There are five types of waypoints: airports, VORs, NDBs, intersections, and supplemental. Waypoints in the pub- lished database (those in the cartridge) fall into one of the first four types. Remember that you can create up to 250 of your own waypoints which you may designate as one of the first four types or yo[...]

3-21 Rev 1 Did you notice that as you entered the “K” in step 3 that the second and third characters also changed? That is because every time you enter a character (in this case the “K”), the KLN 90B searches its database to offer the first waypoint in the database which begins with the char- acters you have already entered. Since the KLN 9[...]

3-22 Rev 1 3.7.3 “Nearest” And “Complete” Waypoint Scan Lists There are actually two waypoint scan lists for airports, VORs, and NDBs. These two lists are the “complete” list and the “nearest” list. The complete list contains all of the waypoints in the database for a waypoint type (all the air- ports for example). The nearest list [...]

3-23 Rev 1 5 . Turn the left inner knob to select either HRD SF T or to selec t HRD . If HRD SF T is chosen, then both hard and soft surface runways meeting the required runway length will be included in the nearest airport list. If HR D is chosen, then only hard surface runways will be included. Hard surface runways include concrete, asphalt, pave[...]

3-24 Rev 1 3.7.3.2 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[...]

3-25 Rev 1 4. Turn the right inner knob to display the first character of the waypoint name, “N” in this case (figure 3-78). 5. Turn the right outer knob one step clockwise and then use the right inner knob to enter the second character, “A” (figure 3-79). 6. Use the right outer knob and right inner knob as before to select the third charac[...]

3-26 Rev 1 11. Rotate the right outer knob one more step clockwise to position the cursor over the fifth character. 12. Pull the right inner knob to the “out” position (figure 3- 84). Once again rotate the knob to scan through all the airport names beginning with “NEWP”. How about that! Now there are just a few names and Newport News is eas[...]

3-27 Rev 1 3.8 DIRECT T O OPERA TION The D button is used to initiate Direct To operation (navigation from your present position direct to your desti- nation). When D is pressed, the Direct To page will be displayed on the left side with a flashing cursor over a waypoint identifier (figure 3-87). The waypoint identifier which appears on the Direct [...]

3-28 Rev 1 3.8.1 Direct To-Procedure 1 1 . Press D . The Direct To page is displayed on the left side (figure 3-87). The cursor will already be on the left page. A waypoint identifier may or may not be di s - played, it doesn’t matter at this point. 2 . Rotate the left inner knob to select the first character of the desired waypoint’s identifie[...]

3-29 Rev 1 3 . Pres s E to approve the waypoint page displayed on the right side. The right side will now display the NAV 1 page, and the left side will return to the page which was displayed prior to pressing D (figure 3-96). If the Direct To was started while the NAV 1 page was shown on the left side then the left and right pages will revert to t[...]

3-31 Rev 1 3.9 THE N A VIG A TION P A GES As you would expect, the NAV (navigation) pages contain information relating specifically to the KLN 90B’s navig a - tion 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[...]

3-32 Rev 1 3.9.2 The Super NAV 1 Page When the NAV 1 page is selected on both the left and right sides at the same time, the Super NAV 1 page is displayed (figure 3-102). The Super NAV 1 page 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. The word “[...]

3-33 Rev 1 • Minimum Safe Altitude for present position (MSA ) - IMPORTANT : The minimum safe altitude displayed is the altitude defined by Jeppesen as “Grid Minimum Off-Route Altitude (Grid MORA)”. This altitude is derived by Jeppesen for sectors which are one degree of latitude by one degree of longitude in size. One degree of latitude is 6[...]

3-34 Rev 1 3.9.5 The Navigation 4 Page (NAV 4) The NAV 4 page (figure 3-107) is used for altitude alerting and for advisory vertical navigation (VNAV). The oper a - tion of altitude alerting is described in section 3.15 and the operation of VNAV is described in section 5.2. 3.9.6 The Navigation 5 Page (NAV 5) The NAV 5 page provides a navigation gr[...]

The heading up selection is not presented as a choice if heading is not provided to the KLN 90B. If the cursor is moved to the map range scale using the outer knob or if the cursor [...]

3-36 Rev 1 3.9.7 The Super NAV 5 Page Regardless of whether you ultimately learn to use just the Direct To capabilities of the KLN 90B or whether you master all of its sophisticated features, you will definitely want to learn how to use the Super NAV 5 page! The Super NAV 5 page provides you with a true moving map display of your present position a[...]

3-37 Rev 1 Like the NAV 5 page, the Super NAV 5 page shows a graphics depiction of the direct to waypoint or the way- points making up the active flight plan. But surprise nu m - ber one is that the Super NAV 5 page shows alphan u - meric waypoint identifiers on the graphics display to make orientation even easier for you. Now surprise number two. [...]

3-38 Rev 1 The last surprise for this page is that it is possible for you to change the active waypoint to any of the flight plan waypoints without having to leave this very useful page. This is done by pulling on the right inner knob to place it in the “out” position. This will create a “window” at the bottom right corner of the display th[...]

3-39 Rev 1 3.10 SPECIAL USE AIRSP A CE ALERT The KLN 90B database contains the location of areas of special use airspace (SUA). The types of SUA areas stored in the database and the abbreviations used to denote these areas are the following: Class B CL B Class C CL C Control Area (used outside USA) CTA Terminal Area (used outside USA) TMA Alert Are[...]

3-40 Rev 1 update the altimeter baro setting on the ALT page each time you make a change to an aircraft’s altime- ter setting. NOTE: If there is no altitude input to the KLN 90B, all alti- tudes will be regarded as being within the boundary of the SUA area. Only the outer lateral boundaries are stored for Class B, Class C, CTA, and TMA airspace. [...]

3-41 Rev 1 The SUA alert feature may be disabled (or enabled) on the Setup 8 (SET 8) page, shown in figure 3-129. After displaying the SET 8 page on the left side, press the left C to turn on the left cursor function. The left inner knob is used to display AIRSPACE ALERT ENABLE or AIR- SPACE ALERT DISABLE. If the SUA alert feature has been enabled,[...]

3-42 Rev 1 3.11 VIEWING THE W A YPOINT P A GES You learned in section 3.7, “SELECTING WAYPOINTS”, the different means of selecting the desired waypoint. You will now see what information may be displayed for each of the waypoint types (airport, VOR, NDB, interse c - tion, and supplemental). 3.11.1 Airport Pages There are eight airport pages (AP[...]

3-43 Rev 1 3.11.3 The Airport 2 Page (APT 2) See figure 3-135. • Airport identifier. An arrow precedes the identifier if it is the active waypoint. • 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 out- side the United States and Canada. A lis[...]

3-44 Rev 1 The primary APT 3 page (figure 3-137) follows the run- way diagram. Runway designation, lighting, and types of surface for up to five runways are displayed in order of length, beginning with the longest. Since there are many times when all of an airport’s runway information does not fit on one page, additional APT 3 pages are used to d[...]

3-45 Rev 1 3.11.5 The Airport 4 Page (APT 4) See figure 3-138 The APT 4 page is used to display communication fr e - quencies for the selected airport. • Airport identifier. An arrow precedes the identifier if it is the active waypoint. • Frequencies for: ATIS - automatic terminal information service PTA X - pre-taxi clearance CLR - clearance d[...]

3-46 Rev 1 The frequencies associated with CL B, CL C, TRSA, CTA, or TMA are VFR frequencies. Airports which have one of these categories of frequencies also have APR and DEP which are IFR frequencies. Where required, APR, DEP, CL B, CL C, TRSA, CTA, and TMA frequencies are sectorized. That is, a fre- quency may be used only within a certain range [...]

3-47 Rev 1 3.11.6 The Airport 5 Page (APT 5) The Airport 5 page is used to store and display user- entered remarks. These remarks might include informa- tion on lodging, dining, airport services, or anything else you desire to record for later use. Up to 100 airports may contain these remarks. A remark may contain up to three lines of eleven charac[...]

3-48 Rev 1 3.11.7 The Airport 6 Page (APT 6) The APT 6 page shows aeronautical services available for the selected airport. These services include customs, fuel, and oxygen availability as well as an indicator to denote the presence of a landing fee. Refer to figure 3-146. • Customs information is displayed as follows: CUSTOMS-FULL Customs facili[...]

3-49 Rev 1 3.11.8 The Airport 7 Page (APT 7) The APT 7 page shows the SID and STAR procedures that are available for the selected airport. If both SID and STAR procedures are available then there will be two APT 7 pages indicated by APT+ 7 (figure 3-147). If there are no SID or STAR procedures in the database then this page will be as shown in figu[...]

3-50 Rev 1 3.11.11 The NDB Page The NDB page shown in figure 3-153 for Ottawa NDB is used to illustrate the contents of an NDB page. • NDB identifier.

4-1 Rev 1 This is the second of four chapters specifically dealing with operating the KLN 90B. In this chapter you will learn to create and use flight plans. A flight plan is an organized listing of waypoints defining your route of flight. You may feel that you learned all you need to know in chapter 3 about operating the KLN 90B, since you can use[...]

4-2 Rev 1 4.1.1 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 example of how to create a flight plan. The waypoints making up the flight plan are: KNE W (Lakefront airport), GP T (Gulfport VOR), SJ I (Semmes VOR), CE W (Crestvie[...]

4-3 Rev 1 that, for some reason, the governing agencies have decided that it is important to fly directly over the waypoint instead of being able to “cut the corner” by using turn anticipation (see section 4.2.2). In these cases the KLN 90B will present a waypoint type identification page (Figure 4-7a). Simply select the way in which the waypoi[...]

4-4 Rev 1 4. Press E to activate the flight plan in the order shown (figure 4-12). To activate the flight plan in inverse order (first waypoint becomes last and last waypoint becomes first), rotate the left outer knob one step clockwise to position the cursor over USE?

5-45 The active flight plan is the only flight plan available when there is no database cartridge. There is no way to gain access to flight plans one through 25. Functions not requiring the published database are operative. Some functions, such as nearest airport, nearest VOR, nearest NDB, Reference Waypoint, and trip planning, are operational but [...]

5-46 5.14 USING THE T AKE-HOME MODE It is very likely that the KLN 90B will become your “best friend” in the cockpit. As with any good friend, you may need some time to get well-acquainted. This will allow you to utilize it to the maximum extent. A great way to get to know the KLN 90B is to use it outside the airplane, using what we call the ?[...]

6-1 This is the last chapter on the operation of the KLN 90B. In this chapter you will learn how to use the KLN 90B for non-precision approaches as well as SID/STAR proc e - dures. All of these procedures require that you are com- fortable with the operation of the unit as presented up to this point. In particular, you need to be comfortable with f[...]

6-4 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 informa[...]

6-5 8. The KLN 90B will then bring up the FPL 0 page and put the sequence of approach waypoints in front of the airport reference point (figure 6-8). NOTE: At any time during the process of selecting an approach you can easily return to the previous step by pressing the @ button. The waypoints that make up the approach procedure are loaded into the[...]

Almost all will have an IAF and missed approach holding point. Another item that you should notice in the flight plan is the line that has *NO WPT SEQ on it (figure 6-9). This is what is referred t[...]

6-8 6.1.4 Example Approach: No Procedure Turn Now that you know the basics of inserting an approach into the flight plan, we can now show the approach opera- tion of the unit by several examples. This first example will use the approach that was loaded into the flight plan in section 6.1.1. This ex ample will show how the KLN 90B sequences through [...]

6-9 90B will provide a message telling you to set the external indicator (CDI or HSI) to a new value. If desired track (DTK) is shown on the screen, this value will flash when the external selected course does not match the DTK within 10°. NOTE: If the KLN 90B is interfaced to EFIS or a suitable mechanical HSI through the optional KA 90 adapter, t[...]

6-10 6.1.5 Example Approach: Off-Airport Navaid An approach that is quite common is an approach that is based off of an off-airport navaid. An example of this is the VOR RWY 22 approach to Clovis New Mexico Municipal airport, KCVN. To fly this procedure as pub- lished use the following steps and refer to figure 6-17 for the procedure. For this exam[...]

6-11 4. If a course reversal is required, then upon reaching TXO perform the appropriate holding pattern entry and set the inbound course on the external CDI or HSI. In this example the inbound course is 241°. At this point the KLN 90B works very similar to a conventional VOR/DME. 5. Once established on the inbound course of 241°, switch back to [...]

6-12 6.1.6 Example Approach: Radar Vectors For this example we will use the same approach that was used in the previous section except this approach will be conducted with the help of radar vectors from approach control.

An example of this type of approach is the VOR RWY 24 approach to Bowman airport in Louisville, Kentucky (Figure 6-21). The airport identifier for this airport is KLOU. For[...]

6-15 6. When the aircraft is 2 NM from the FAF, the KLN 90B will verify that the proper GPS integrity is available. If integrity monitoring is available for the approach, then the KLN 90B will change to the Approach Active mode. This will be annunciated on the external approach status annunciator as well as on the KLN 90B. The CDI scale factor will[...]

6-16 6.1.8 Example Approach: DME Arc DME arc procedures with the KLN 90B are completely different from using traditional VOR and DME equipment. Don’t worry though because DME arc procedures using the KLN 90B are also easier than using traditional equip- ment. This is because the KLN 90B provides left/right guidance around the arc. No more having [...]

For this reason it is better to delay selecting approaches that contain DME arcs until the aircraft is closer to the destination. 4. With the cursor over LOAD IN FPL , press E . The approach will be loaded into the active flight plan just like any other approac[...]

6-18 NOTE: If the present track does not intercept the arc, then the KLN 90B will display NO INTRCPT in the scratch pad area of the screen. 8 . When the aircraft approaches the arc the KLN 90B will provide waypoint alerting and turn anticipation to join the arc. 9 . Once established on the arc the KLN 90B provides left/right guidance relative to th[...]

6-19 14. The visual descent point is identified by the along track distance to the MAP to be 1.5 NM. When the air- craft reaches this point (figure 6-28), and the runway envi- ronment is in sight, it is possible to descend for a landing. If a missed approach is needed use the following steps: 15. The missed approach calls for a climb to 2000 and th[...]

6-20 The destination waypoint will, by default, be the missed approach point of an approach loaded in the flight plan. If there is no approach in the flight plan, then the default waypoint is the last waypoint in the active flight plan. Of course it is possible for you to enter any waypoint in this field. The time used for the RAIM prediction will [...]

6-21 6.2 SID/ST AR PROCEDURES The database in the KLN 90B also contains the pilot NAV SIDs (Standard Instrument Departures) and STARs (Standard Terminal Arrival Routes) for the primary database coverage area (see Chapter 2 for database coverage areas). SID/STAR procedures stored in the database can only be considered accurate as long as the databas[...]
