3.8.4. Viewing the Nearest Center Frequencies
The KLN 89(B) also stores in its data
base the low altitude boundaries of
each of the ARTCC “Centers”. The
KLN 89(B) determines the proper
Center to contact and the appropriate
frequencies to use for the aircraft’s
present position. Pressing the
G
button and selecting the CTR option will display this information to
you (figure 3-98). Next time you wish to obtain VFR flight following or
communicate with Center for any reason, you have a quick way to
get a frequency for establishing contact! Appendix D contains a list-
ing of Center abbreviations used on the CTR page.
NOTE: Frequencies for Area Control Centers are displayed on the
CTR page for some areas of the world.
3.9. DIRECT TO OPERATION
The
D
button is used to initiate Direct
To operation (navigation from your pre-
sent position direct to your destination).
When
D is pressed, the Direct To
page will be displayed with a flashing
cursor over a waypoint identifier (figure
3-99). The waypoint identifier which appears on the Direct To page is
chosen by the KLN 89(B) according to the following rules:
1. If the Flight Plan 0 (FPL 0) page is displayed on the screen and the
cursor is over one of the waypoint identifiers in FPL 0 when
D is
pressed, then that waypoint identifier will appear on the DIR page.
You will appreciate this feature when you learn to use flight plans in
section 4.2.
2. If the KLN 89(B) is displaying the NAV 4 page and the right inner
knob is in the “out” position, then the waypoint highlighted in the
lower right hand corner of the NAV 4 map display will be the default
waypoint. You will also find this feature useful when operating from
the active flight plan especially during approaches with the KLN 89B.
OR . . .
3. If there is any waypoint page (APT, VOR, NDB, INT, USR, or ACT
page) in view when
D
is pressed, then the DIR page will contain
the identifier for the waypoint just viewed.
