Next, you’ll probably want to check the NAV 2 page to see your present
position. Use the right outer knob to select the NAV page type and
then the right inner knob, if necessary,
to select the NAV 2 page. It is quite
likely that the present position will be
dashed at first (figure 3-23). It takes
the KLN 89(B) a couple of minutes to
acquire the GPS satellites and to make
its initial calculation of your position.
When the KLN 89(B) reaches a NAV
ready status and is able to navigate,
the NAV 2 page will display your pre-
sent position relative to the nearest
VOR (figure 3-24). Verify that the pre-
sent 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 satel-
lites. If the KLN 89(B) 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 89(B) uses a Dot Matrix Gas Plasma Display. In normal
operation, 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 is presented on the screen in the form of
“pages”. A page is a presentation of specific data in an organized for-
mat. 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 distance relative to the aircraft’s
present position.
The units of measure for displayed information can be changed using
the SET 8 page. (Refer to section 2-12 for details on this page.) The
altimeter barometric setting can be set to inches of Mercury (“), mil-
libars (mB), or hectopascals (hP). Altitude, airport elevation, and
runway lengths can be set to feet (ft) or meters (m). Finally, distances
and velocities can be set to nautical miles (nm) and knots (kt) or kilo-
