5. INTERMEDIATE OPERATION
Many of the KLN 94’s advanced features and functions are covered in this
section of the Pilot’s Guide. You may pick and choose which of these fea-
tures are applicable to the type of flying you do. If you are a serious IFR
pilot be sure to learn the information presented on the KLN 94’s navigation
modes described in section 5.5.
5.1. ALTITUDE PAGES
The ALT (altitude) pages are used to control and display most of the alti-
tude-related functions of the KLN 94, including minimum safe altitudes
and vertical navigation (VNAV). The ALT pages are accessed by pressing
the
A button. The first time the A button is pressed, the ALT 1 page is
displayed (figure 5-1). If the
A but-
ton is pressed again while the ALT 1
page is displayed, the display
changes to the ALT 2 page. Pressing
A a third time goes back to the
page which you were on before you
changed to the ALT pages.
The ALT 1 page is used to set the current barometric pressure or “baro
setting” which is displayed on line 1. Since all encoding altimeters and
some air data computers output pressure altitude, it is often required that
you manually input the proper baro setting in order to get accurate altitude
functions. The KLN 94 functions which use the altitude input are special
use airspace (SUA) alerting, altitude alerting, vertical navigation (VNAV),
and the GPS approach mode. It is a good idea to update the altimeter
baro setting on the ALT 1 page each time you make a change to the air-
craft’s altimeter setting.
To Change the Baro Setting:
1. Press A. The ALT 1 page will be displayed with the cursor over the
altimeter baro setting field (figure 5-1).
NOTE: The SET 12 page (figure 5-
2) is used to set the unit of measure
for various parameters. The altimeter
barometric setting can be set to inch-
es of Mercury (“), millibars (mB), or
hectopascals (hP). Altitude, airport
elevation, and runway lengths can
be set to feet (ft) or meters (m). Finally, distances and velocities can be
set to nautical miles (NM) and knots (kt) or kilometers (km) and kilome-
ters/hour (k/h). To change a unit of measure: select the SET 12 page; turn
on the cursor (
B) and move it over the desired unit of measure using the
