mation associated with a particular
page number doesn’t fit on the page
being viewed. In this case the “+” sign
indicates that there are two or more
APT 5 pages. Figure 3-33 shows the
second APT 5 page for KICT (Wichita
Mid-Continent Airport).

The lower left corner of the display,
where the page type and number are
usually displayed, can also display
short operational messages to the
user called “scratchpad messages”.
These messages are displayed for

approximately five seconds, then this area returns to a display of the
page type and number. Figure 3-34 shows an example of a scratch-
pad message indicating a duplicate identifier. A complete listing of
scratchpad messages is available in Appendix C of this Pilot’s Guide.

3.4. BASIC OPERATION OF PANEL CONTROLS

The KLN 89(B) controls are very easy to use. Most of the page
selection and data entry is done with the knobs on the right side of
the front panel and the cursor (

B

) button immediately above them.

There are seven buttons across the bottom:

C

(Message),

H

,

A

(Altitude),

G

(Nearest),

D

(Direct To),

E

(Clear), and

F

(Enter).

The cursor position is indicated by flashing, underlined text on the
screen. Many pages allow you to add, delete, or change data on the
screen by first pressing the

B

button to turn the cursor function on

and bring the cursor on the screen.
The right knobs are then used to
enter or change data. When the cur-
sor is on the screen, the lower left
corner of the screen will show
*CRSR* rather than the page name
for that particular page (figure 3-35).
The cursor is over PRESENT POSN.

In addition, this Pilot’s Guide uses white “whiskers” to depict flashing
characters on the screen.
