5. Use the right inner knob to leaf
through all the data base airports
whose identifiers begin with KL.
You will see KL6, Little Bear Lake
Airport in Saskatchewan (figure 3-
78), and KLAS, McCarran
International in Las Vegas,
Nevada among others.
3.7.4. SELECTING WAYPOINTS BY NAME OR CITY
When you know the identifier of the desired waypoint you will use
one of the two methods just described to select it. However, what if
you know the name but you don’t know the identifier of your desired
waypoint? You’re in luck because the KLN 89(B) will allow you to
enter the first few characters of the name to help you find it in the
data base. We will use a couple of examples to illustrate how this is
done. For VORs and NDBs, you may use the navaid name. For air-
ports, you may use the airport name or the city name (where the
airport is located).
In this first example we want to view the information in the KLN 89(B)
data base for Napoleon VOR (located just east of Kansas City) but
we don’t remember the identifier for it.
To select a VOR or NDB by navaid name:
1. With the cursor off, use the right
knobs to select the VOR 1 page
(figure 3-79). The VOR waypoint
in view is not important.
2. Press
B
and then make sure
the right inner knob is pushed to
the “in” position.
3. With the right outer knob, move
the cursor over the first character
in the VOR name which is being
displayed (figure 3-80).
4. Change this first character to an
“N” in this case (figure 3-81).
