8. The KLN 900 will then bring up the FPL 0 page and
put the sequence of approach waypoints in front of the
airport reference point (figure 6-8).
NOTE: At any time during the process of selecting an
approach you can easily return to the previous step by
pressing the
F button.
The waypoints that make up the approach procedure are
loaded into the flight plan. At the top of the list of
approach waypoints is a “header” that describes the
approach that follows. The form of this header is ABBBB-
CCCC. A is the first letter of the type of approach being
flown (e.g. V for a VOR approach). BBBB will be filled in
with the runway that the approach is to. Finally CCCC
corresponds to the identifier of the airport which the
approach is to. An example of this is shown in figure 6-8
where V25R-KLAX means the VOR 25R approach to
KLAX.
After the approach has been entered into the flight plan
the KLN 900 checks to make sure that the resulting flight
plan “makes sense”. If the KLN 900 detects any way-
points that are in both the enroute portion of the flight plan
and the portion that makes up the approach, then the fol-
lowing message will be given:
REDUNDANT WPTS IN FPL
EDIT ENROUTE WPTS
AS NECESSARY
Examine the flight plan and delete those enroute
waypoints that are not necessary.
NOTE: Approaches can only be entered into FPL 0, the
active flight plan. If the KLN 900 is turned off for more
than 5 minutes, then the approach is deleted when power
is turned back on.
6.1.2 Interpreting What You See
In the example above, you may have noticed a couple of
waypoints with somewhat strange names. The second
waypoint of the approach procedure, LAX18, has a name
that is not normal for a waypoint. This is an example of
what are called “terminal” waypoints. These are way-
points that are associated with a specific airport. They
are used to define a spot on the ground that does not
have a normal waypoint name. In the case of “LAX18”
this point is 18 NM from the LAX VOR on the 68° radial.
The fifth waypoint in the approach procedure, MA25B, is
another type of terminal waypoint. In this case this point
is the missed approach point for runway 25. This
approach applies to both the left and right runways so the
letter B is used to mean “both”.
There are few other types of terminal waypoints that you
will need to be familiar with to fully understand GPS non-
precision approaches. The naming convention for these
waypoints are as follows:
