6.2.5 Example of a STAR Procedure
To illustrate the use of the KLN 900 with STAR
procedures the steps required to fly Acton Four arrival to
Dallas/Fort Worth International will be shown in this sec-
tion. This procedure is considerably simpler than the SID
example shown in section 6.2.4.

For this example assume that the aircraft departs from El
Paso, Texas and files for the Acton Four arrival with the
Wink transition. Use the following steps to fly this
procedure with the KLN 900 and refer to the chart for this
STAR (figure 6-44):

1.

Load the STAR into the flight plan as described in

section 6.2.2.

2.

This STAR is very simple and the KLN 900 will auto-

matically guide the aircraft along the proper route until the
AQN VOR.

3.

Long before reaching AQN examine this procedure

and notice that there are two different routes depending
on what type of aircraft is flying the STAR. Turbojets fly to
CREEK intersection while non-turbojets fly to RENDY
intersection. The database in the KLN 900 has the
sequence of waypoints for the turbojet procedure NOT
the sequence for non-turbojets.

NOTE: It is extremely rare to have a different path over
the ground for turbojets and non-turbojets, but be sure to
cross check with your paper charts.

If the aircraft you are flying in is a turbojet, then fly the rest
of the STAR as depicted on the chart with no changes to
the flight plan. If the aircraft is not a turbojet then follow
these steps:

4.

Turn to the FPL 0 page and delete the following way-

points: MARKUM, BRYAR, HULEN, FLATO, and
CREEK. To do this turn on the left cursor and rotate the
left outer knob until the cursor is over one of the above
waypoints.

5.

Press

F

and then

E

to delete a waypoint.

6.

Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all of the unnecessary

waypoints are deleted.

7.

Now add JERRY, CRESN, and RENDY to FPL 0 by

using the left inner and outer knobs and

E

as

necessary.

8.

The rest of the STAR can now be flown.
