BendixKing KLN 94 - Pilots Guide - Manual (Page 62)

To initialize the position from the SET 1 page:
1. If the cursor is not on the screen
(figure 3-55), press the
B but-
ton to bring it on the page over
the INIT POS field (figure 3-56).
2. Using the right inner and outer
knobs, enter the identifier for the
airport where you are presently
located or the identifier of a
navaid or other airport which is
close to your present position
(figure 3-57). Any waypoint in
the database which is within 60
miles is acceptable, but the clos-
er the better. Remember, if you
are entering 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; in oth-
ers, the prefix is not added), or a “C” in Canada. If there are numbers
in the identifier then a prefix is not used. Outside the contiguous U.S.,
Alaska, and Canada, use the airport identifiers as they are charted.
3. Once you have entered the com-
plete identifier, press
F. The
display will change to the way-
point page for the waypoint you
entered (figure 3-58).
4. If this is the waypoint you intended to enter, press
F again. The
display will change back to the SET 1 page.
NOTE: As an alternative, you can also enter the approximate latitude and
longitude of your present position directly on the SET 1 page instead of
entering a waypoint.
5. With the right inner knob, posi-
tion the cursor over Ok? if it is
not already there (figure 3-59).
6. Press
F to approve the initial
position. The cursor will auto-
matically be removed from the
screen.
