Next, you’ll probably want to check the NAV 2 page to see your pre-
sent position. Use the right outer knob to select the NAV page type
and then the right inner knob, if nec-
essary, to select the NAV 2 page. It
is quite likely that the present position
will be dashed at first (figure 3-20). It
takes the KLN 35A several minutes to
acquire the GPS satellites and to
make its initial calculation of your
position. When the KLN 35A reaches
a NAV ready status and is able to
navigate, the NAV 2 page will display
your present position relative to the
nearest VOR (figure 3-21). Verify
that the present position shown on
the NAV 2 page is correct.

NOTE: In order to reach a Nav ready status, the aircraft must be
away from obstructions blocking the GPS antenna’s view of required
satellites. If the KLN 35A fails to reach a Nav ready status within five
minutes refer to

section 3.6

, “Initialization And Time To First Fix”.

3.3. DISPLAY FORMAT

The KLN 35A uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). In normal opera-
tion, the display screen is divided into two segments by a vertical line,
called the page divider. In some cases, such as the display of
system messages or the turn-on and self test sequence, the page
divider disappears and you have a “full-screen” page.

Aeronautical information (or

data) is presented on the screen in the

form of “pages”. A page is a presentation of specific data in an
organized format. Various page “types” are used to display related
kinds of data. For example, one page type is NAV (navigation). NAV
pages show information such as distance, groundspeed, bearing,
course, and other data relating to navigation. Another page type is
APT (airport). APT pages contain information pertinent to a specific
airport such as name, city, State, elevation, and direction and dis-
tance relative to the aircraft’s present position.

The top left corner of the screen
always displays distance to the active
waypoint (figure 3-22). The identifier
of the active waypoint is usually dis-
played on the second line. This area
