5.1.2 The Trip Planning 1 And Trip Planning 2 Pages
(TRI 1 and TRI 2)
The TRI 1 and TRI 2 pages allow trip planning from your
present position to any waypoint of your choice. Unlike
the other Trip Planning pages, in order to utilize the TRI
1 and TRI 2 pages, the KLN 900 must either be receiv-
ing GPS signals sufficient to be in the NAV ready status
or the KLN 900 must be in the take-home mode.
The TRI 1 page provides estimates of distance, esti-
mated time enroute, bearing, and fuel requirements.
The TRI 2 page displays the minimum enroute safe alti-
tude (ESA) and any areas of special use airspace that
lay between your present position and the selected way-
point. The TRI 1 and TRI 2 pages are useful, for exam-
ple, while you are airborne and wish to determine dis-
tance, time, fuel, and altitude requirements direct to an
alternate location.
NOTE: Prior to using the TRI 1 and TRI 2 pages while
the KLN 900 is in the take-home mode, use the SET 1
page to enter your present position. See section 3.6,
“INITIALIZATION AND TIME TO FIRST FIX”, for an
explanation of entering position on the SET 1 page.
For the following example let’s say the aircraft is located
over Battle Mountain VOR (BAM) enroute to Lake
Tahoe and you wish to perform trip planning back to
Salt Lake City International airport (KSLC). To perform
trip planning on the TRI 1 and TRI 2 pages:
1. Use the left outer knob to select the TRI type pages
on the left side.
2. Rotate the left inner knob to display the TRI 1 page
on the left side (figure 5-6).
3. Press the left C to turn on the left cursor function.
The cursor will be over the waypoint identifier at the
top of the page.
4. Use the left inner and outer knobs to enter the identi-
fier of the selected waypoint (figure 5-7).
5. Press E to view the waypoint page for the
selected waypoint on the right side.
6. Press E again to acknowledge the waypoint page.
The distance, bearing, and estimated time enroute
are now displayed (figure 5-8).
If you entered true airspeed and wind velocity informa-
tion on the TRI 0 page, the groundspeed displayed is a
result of those inputs applied to the direction of flight
specified on the TRI 1 page. You may also enter any
groundspeed you desire by using the left outer knob to
position the cursor over each digit of the groundspeed
and using the left inner knob to select each individual
digit.
