Operational Revision Status

ORS 01 and 02

IMPORTANT: Special installation procedures must be followed in order for the KLN 89B to be certified for IFR En route, Terminal and Non-precision Approach use. If these procedures are followed, the KLN 89B can be used for IFR use. Consult the KLN 89B Flight Manual Supplement for the operating limitations of this unit.

September 2002

IMPORTANT:

This Pilot’s Guide covers both the KLN 89 (VFR only) and KLN 89B (IFR approved for Enroute, Terminal, and Non-precision Approach phases of flight). There are numerous places throughout this guide which discuss features and operational characteristics which specifically apply to KLN 89B, and not to KLN 89. These parts of the Pilot’s Guide refer specifically to KLN 89B, and often are marked with a double dagger symbol (‡). Likewise, chapter 5, “Approaches and SID/STARs” applies only to KLN 89B. For features that apply to both KLN 89 and KLN 89B, a generic reference to “KLN 89(B)” is used.

NOTE: A “whiskers” border is used around data on some of the figures in this Pilot's Guide to indicate that the data inside the border is flashing.

WARNING: The KLN 89 and KLN 89B display GPS-derived altitude on the OTH 1 page. Do not use the GPS-derived altitude for navigation. Due to Selective Availability position degradation and other factors, the GPS altitude is normally 300 feet or more in error, which is unacceptable for vertical navigation.

KLN 89/KLN 89B Pilot’s Guide

Introduction

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations for choosing the Bendix/King KLN 89 or KLN 89B GPS! Celestial navigation will now be a way of life for you. The phenomenal accuracy of GPS, along with the KLN 89(B)’s user-friendly operation and graphics display will make flying a delight. Not only will the KLN 89(B) help you to navigate more easily and more accurately, its trip planning features, air data calculations, and other useful features will make you feel like you’re flying with a true flight management system.

In addition, KLN 89B may be IFR approved for En route, Terminal, and Non-precision Approach operations. We think you’ll find that having an abundance of navigational data (not to mention a moving map!) available to you will make non-precision approaches more precise and more enjoyable.

This Pilot's Guide will be of great help to you. It is written in plain, simple English and it assumes you are not an experienced user of GPS or other type of long range navigation equipment. If you are experienced, so much the better. This Pilot's Guide also includes hundreds of sample screen figures and other illustrations to make your learning easier. It is designed so that you can start at the front and progress in the order presented; however, you may want to skip around and learn things in your own order. Also, on page iv, there is an index of frequently used procedures which will help you find the page that describes how to do exactly what you want to do. There are also several appendices in the back of the manual that you may find useful from time to time.

Be sure to keep this Pilot's Guide handy with you in the airplane. It is designed to fit easily in the glove box, or in the seat pocket. The KLN 89(B) is very simple to operate, but the Pilot's Guide can sure be of help to you.

One last thing. Don't get so involved in learning to use the KLN 89(B) that you forget to fly the airplane. Be careful, and remember to keep a close eye out for other aircraft.

Introduction

KLN 89(B) SNEAK PREVIEW

If you absolutely can’t wait to use your KLN 89(B) until you’ve read this Pilot’s Guide, this section is for you. This page will teach you just enough to get going and then learn by doing. This operational preview assumes the KLN 89(B) has been properly installed, the unit was previously operational in the same general geographical location, and that no peripheral equipment interfaced with the KLN 89(B) (such as external HSIs, CDIs, autopilots, moving map display, etc.) is to be used at this time. If you are using this operational preview in flight, do so only in good VFR conditions and only with an alternate means of navigation (including pilotage) available to cross-check position.

1.Turn the unit on with the On/Off knob (the small knob in lower left hand corner).

2.For a few seconds, the Power On Page is displayed while the unit runs a self-test. Afterwards, the Self-test Page is displayed. If the KLN 89(B) is receiving an altitude from an encoding altimeter, the present indicated altitude will be displayed on line 2. The bottom line should display Pass and a flashing Ok?. Press the Fbutton to approve the Self-test Page.

3.The Initialization Page will now be displayed. If the date and time are incorrect by more than 10 minutes, refer to section 3.2 of this Pilot’s Guide. The right side of the screen should show the identifier of the nearest airport to the initial position, along with a radial and distance from that airport waypoint. Press Fwith the cursor flashing over Ok? to approve the Initialization Page.

4.If you are using a KLN 89, or your KLN 89B has been configured for VFR use only, the VFR page will now be displayed to notify you of the VFR limitation. Press Fto approve this page.

5.The Data Base Page is now displayed showing the date the data base expires or the date it expired. Press F to acknowledge the information displayed on this page.

ii

KLN 89/KLN 89B Pilot’s Guide	Introduction

6.The next page displayed will probably be a page showing the VHF communication frequencies for the airport you are at. For now, use the right outer knob to turn to the NAV page type (watch the lower left corner of the screen and the small bar at the bottom to know when you are there). Then use the right inner knob to select the NAV 2 page if not already there. The NAV 2 page shows your present position relative to a nearby VOR. Verify that this position is correct before proceeding.

7.Press the Dbutton. A page with the words DIRECT TO is now displayed on the screen.

In step 8 you will enter the ICAO identifier of the airport. The identifier will have a “K” prefix for a Continental U.S. airport, a “C” prefix for a Canadian airport, or a “P” prefix (in some cases) for an Alaskan airport if the identifier is all letters. For example, LAX becomes KLAX. For these countries if the identifier contains any numbers, there is no prefix. For example, TX04 is entered TX04. For other areas of the world the airport identifier should be entered identically to how it is charted.

8.Rotate the right inner knob until the first character of the airport identifier is displayed. Turn the right outer knob one step clockwise to move the flashing segment to the second character position. Rotate the right inner knob to select the second character of the identifier. Use this procedure to enter the complete airport identifier.

9.Press F. The display will change to a page showing the identifier, name, city, and state/country of the airport just entered. Confirm that the correct airport is displayed. Press Fa second time to approve the airport data.

10.A Navigation page (specifically the NAV 1 page) is now on the screen. It displays the desired ground track, actual ground track, bearing, and ETE to the destination airport. In addition, it displays a course deviation indicator (CDI).

See—wasn’t that easy?

KLN 89/KLN 89B Pilot’s Guide	System Components

1. KLN 89(B) SYSTEM COMPONENTS

A basic KLN 89(B) system consists of a panel mounted KLN 89(B) GPS and a KA 92 GPS antenna. An altitude input is required to obtain full navigation and operational capabilities. Additional system components may be added or interfaced to the KLN 89(B) which increase its features and capabilities. Some of these optional components include an external course deviation indicator (CDI) or horizontal situation indicator (HSI), autopilot, and external annunciators. Typically, an altitude input, an external indicator, and external annunciators are required for IFR approach certification.

The KLN 89(B) panel mounted unit contains the GPS sensor, the navigation computer, a Gas Plasma Discharge Display, and all controls required to operate the unit. It also includes the data base card which slides into the left side of the front panel.

The KA 92 GPS “patch” antenna is available for use with the KLN 89(B). It is designed to always be mounted on the top of the aircraft.

The KLN 89(B) has analog outputs to drive the left-right deviation bar of most mechanical CDIs and HSIs. In addition, the NAV mode of the Bendix/King KFC 150, KAP 150, KAP 150H, KAP 100, KFC 200, KAP 200, KFC 250, KFC 275, KFC 300, and KFC 325 flight control systems may be coupled to the KLN 89(B). Many other autopilots may also be coupled to the KLN 89(B). Actual autopilot performance and capability when coupled to the KLN 89(B) may vary significantly from one autopilot model to another.

Altitude may be provided to the KLN 89(B) from an encoding altimeter or blind encoder. Altitude is used as an aid in position determination when not enough satellites are in view.

All IFR installations require remote annunciators to be mounted in the aircraft panel in order to select and indicate the status of certain KLN 89(B) functions. En route and terminal IFR certifications require annunciators for message (MSG) and waypoint alert (WPT). Nonprecision approach certifications also require a switch/annunciator to select and display when the approach mode is armed or active.

System Components

Each KLN 89(B) system includes a configuration module which is attached to the KLN 89(B) mounting rack. The module allows the KLN 89(B) to be configured for the unique characteristics of your equipment installation. Parameters that are set by the configuration module include:

•‡ Whether the KLN 89B may be used for IFR operations or not, and if it may be used for non-precision approach IFR operations. KLN 89 may only be used for VFR navigation.

•Whether or not the altitude alert function in enabled. See section 4.3.

•Whether or not an external fuel management system is interfaced to the KLN 89(B). See section 4.8.

•Whether or not an external air data computer is interfaced to the KLN 89(B). See section 4.9.

•The conditions for the aircraft bus voltage alert to activate. See section 3.16.

The configuration information is stored both in the module and in the KLN 89(B) internal memory. If the KLN 89(B) detects a difference between the configuration stored in the module and the configuration stored in the internal memory (which should only occur following the exchange of KLN 89 or KLN 89B units), the configuration information will automatically be updated to the configuration specified in the configuration module.

If an error is detected in the configuration data, a warning page stating Configuration Mem Error will be displayed during the KLN 89(B) start-up sequence, and the configuration memory will be set to arbitrary default values. See an authorized Honeywell Service center to correct the configuration memory error.

2. DATA BASE

2.1. DATA BASICS

The data base provides two primary functions. First, it makes pilot interface with the GPS sensor much easier. Rather than having to manually look up and then enter the latitude and longitude for a specific waypoint, it allows you to merely enter a simple waypoint identifier. The data base automatically looks up and displays the latitude and longitude associated with the identifier. It should be obvious that the data base saves a lot of tedious latitude/longitude entry and also greatly reduces the potential for data input mistakes.

The second function of the data base is that it serves as a very convenient means to store and easily access aeronautical information. Want to know the name of the airport, the nearest city, or the airport elevation? Just unleash the power of the KLN 89(B) and display the information right on the screen.

‡Thirdly, the KLN 89B data base stores non-precision approaches in their proper sequence. This allows you to select an approach as a whole, rather than entering the approach waypoint by waypoint.

2.2. DATA BASE CONTENTS AND COVERAGE AREAS

Base Data

2 Chapter

There are four data base coverage areas available for the KLN 89(B). They are referred to as the “Americas North” data base, the “Americas South” data base, the “Atlantic” data base, and the “Pacific” data base.

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Aeronautical Radio, Inc. (ARINC) break the world into the ten geographic regions shown in figure 2-1. The KLN 89(B) Americas North data base contains aeronautical information for the group of ICAO regions consisting of Canada, USA and Latin America. The KLN 89(B) Americas South data base contains aeronautical information for the group of ICAO regions consisting of USA, Latin America and South America. The KLN 89(B) Atlantic data base provides information for the ICAO regions Europe, Africa, East Europe, and Mid East. Likewise, the Pacific data base contains information for East Europe, Mid East, Pacific, and South Pacific.

2.3. ICAO IDENTIFIERS

Waypoints are stored in the KLN 89(B) database almost exclusively by their ICAO identifiers. ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) is an internationally accepted reference for the data. In almost all cases the proper ICAO identifiers may be taken directly from Jeppesen-Sanderson or NOS aeronautical charts.

Airport identifiers in the contiguous United States, Alaska, and Canada are special cases in the ICAO system. Many airport identifiers for these areas have four letters beginning with a prefix letter that corresponds to the geographic area in which it is located. The prefix letter for the contiguous U.S. is “K”. Thus, the identifier for Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is KDFW, not DFW (which would be identical to the VOR identifier). Likewise, the identifier for Orlando Executive Airport is KORL while the VOR identifier is ORL. The prefix letter for Canada is “C” and for Alaska is “P”.

NOTE: There are several exceptions in Alaska. In many cases, airports with three letter identifiers receive the prefix “P”, but there are many that don’t. The most reliable method of determining an Alaska airport identifier is to look it up from the airport name or city. See section 3.7.4, “Selecting Waypoints by Name or City”.

Incidentally, you can program the KLN 89(B) to default to a certain letter (such as “K”) when you are entering a waypoint identifier. See section 3.4.2, “Data Entry” to learn about this handy feature.

Not all airport identifiers receive the prefix letter. Airport identifiers which are combinations of letters and numbers do not apply to the prefix rule. Examples of airport identifiers not using the prefix are 3C2, 7TX6, and M33.

So remember, if you are entering or looking for an airport identifier that is all letters (no numbers) then it will begin with a “K” prefix in the contiguous U.S., a “P” in Alaska (in some cases), 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 89(B) data base is identical to how it is charted.

2.4. UPDATING THE DATA BASE

The information stored in the data base would eventually become obsolete if there wasn’t some means to update it. For example, new airports open, navaids can move or change frequency, communication frequencies can change, and on and on.
