sent OBS selected course (OBS) as an option instead of magnetic

ALTITUDE ALERTING

If your aircraft does not already have an altitude alerting capability you
may wish to use the KLN 89(B)’s capability of assisting you with alti-
tude management during your flying. Altitude alerting allows you to
select a target altitude and it then provides you with an aural alarm
1000 feet prior to reaching the selected altitude, another aural alarm
upon reaching the selected altitude, and another aural alarm if you
deviate from the selected altitude.

NOTE: The altitude alerting function of the KLN 89(B) does not meet
FAR Part 91 for turbojet-powered civil airplanes.

NOTE: Before you use the altitude alerting function, it is a good idea to
make sure that the KLN 89(B) baro setting is current. To do this, press
the

A

button and use the right inner knob to modify the baro setting.

To Use Altitude Alerting:

1. Select the Setup (SET) 9 page

and turn on the cursor (

B

). It will

come on over the Alert: field. If
OFF is displayed, turn the right
inner knob to select ON

(figure

4-52).

2. Select a warn altitude deviation by positioning the cursor over the

Warn: field. Use the right inner knob to select the desired value
(figure 4-53). It is selectable in one hundred foot increments from
200 feet up to 900 feet or in ten m increments from 60 meters to

270 meters. Normally, you will
use the same value all the time so
you only have to enter this the first
time you use altitude alerting. The
recommended warn altitude devia-
tion is 300 feet or 100 meters.
