page (airport communications) for the primary airport so that the cor-
rect communications frequency may be determined.
To scan through the remainder of the nearest SUA areas, pull the
right inner knob to the “out” position and turn it clockwise to view the
SUA pages for the second nearest through fifth nearest SUAs.
NOTE: The KLN 89(B) displays the five nearest SUAs regardless of
your present altitude and the altitude limits of the SUA. For instance,
it will include SUAs specified as “Below 6000ft” even if you are cruis-
ing at 10,000 feet.
3.8.3. Viewing the Nearest Flight Service Station Frequencies
The KLN 89(B) stores in its data base the locations of Flight Service
Stations (FSS) and their remote communications sites. In addition,
the KLN 89(B) determines which two of these FSS points of commu-
nication are closest to your present location. What a convenience for
you! Next time you want to file a flight plan from the air or contact an
FSS for some other reason, you can easily use the KLN 89(B) to
determine a suitable FSS and the appropriate frequency.
NOTE: In some areas of the world the KLN 89(B) provides the loca-
tion of the nearest point of communication with a facility providing
information (INF) or radio (RDO) services.
Pressing the G button and selecting the FSS option will display two
of the nearest points of communication with Flight Service Stations.
There will normally be two FSS 1 pages, one for each of the two
points of contact. The name of the FSS is at the top of the page.
There can be from one to three frequencies included for a point of
contact (figure 3-96). Remember that
in the U.S. the frequency 122.00 MHz
is used for “Flight Watch” and the fre-
quency 123.60 MHz is used for
Aeronautical Advisory Service. As
you know, it is often possible to com-
municate with an FSS by transmitting
on 122.10 MHz and listening on the
VOR frequency. In cases like this,
the FSS 1 page displays the frequen-
cies to use for transmit and receive
and also the name of the VOR
through which you are communicat-
ing (figure 3-97).
