89(B) uses ICAO identifiers, which means that many U.S. airport
identifiers begin with the letter K. Also, many airport identifiers in
Europe begin with the letter E or the letter L. Especially when flying
VFR, you will mostly want to enter Direct To or Flight Plan waypoints
which are airports. The KLN 89(B) has a great feature that will save
you turns of the knob when you know that the first character will
probably be a K, E, L, or other letter that is commonly used in your
part of the world. You can set the default first waypoint identifier
character on the SET 5 page.
To change the default first way-
point identifier character:
1. Select the SET 5 page (figure 3-
47) and turn on the cursor (
B )
(figure 3-48).
2. Use the right inner knob to select
the desired character
(figure 3-49), such as a K in the
U.S., a C in Canada, a P in
Alaska, an E or an L in Europe,
etc.
3. Turn off the cursor. To try it out,
proceed to the SET 1 page (initial
position). Turn the cursor (
B )
on (it will come on over the way-
point field). Try turning the right
inner knob one click clockwise
(figure 3-50). There’s the
character you just selected on the
SET 5 page!
3.4.3. THE DUPLICATE
WAYPOINT PAGE
There are some waypoints in the data base whose identifiers are not
unique. That is, more than one waypoint has the same identifier.
When a waypoint identifier has been entered which is not unique to a
single waypoint, a Duplicate Waypoint page appears on the screen.
The Duplicate Waypoint page is used to select which of the
waypoints having the same identifier is actually desired. The
waypoint identifier is displayed on the top left of the page. To the
right of the identifier is the number of waypoints in the data base
having the identifier. Below the identifier is a list of the waypoint
