CHAPTER 9 - OCEANIC OPERATION
9.1 PRIMARY MEANS OCEANIC/REMOTE
OPERATION
ORS 04 and later versions of the KLN 900 provide for pri-
mary means oceanic/remote operations (per FAA Notice
8110.60).
When the KLN 900 is to be used as a primary means of
navigation for oceanic/remote operations (including mini-
mum navigation performance specifications (MNPS) air-
space), you are required to verify that FDE is available for
the oceanic sections of your flight prior to departure.
(Please refer to section 5.8.2 for more information about
FDE.) The PreFlight Version 2.0 (or greater) software
can be used to perform the required FDE prediction for
the oceanic sections of your flight. The PreFlight soft-
ware program runs on a Microsoft Windows-compatible
personal computer and includes the capability to transfer
flight plans and waypoints to and from the KLN 900 using
an interface cable. Instructions for ordering the PC inter-
face cable (i.e. the PC Data Loader Kit) appear on the
order form in Appendix F.
During your flight you should turn to the KLN 900’s
MODE page and select OCEANIC: ON (figure 9-2) at the
beginning of the oceanic/remote section of your flight.
Since oceanic mode does not require the same level of
satellite integrity monitoring as do the other modes of
flight, oceanic mode effectively increases the availability
of RAIM and FDE. In oceanic mode, the CDI sensitivity is
5 nmi full scale, unless manually changed by the pilot.
Finally, at the end of the oceanic/remote section of your
flight , your should turn to the KLN 900’s MODE page and
select OCEANIC: OFF (figure 9-3).
If you have an approach loaded and come within 30 nau-
tical miles of the destination airport, the KLN 900 will
automatically switch from Oceanic mode to Approach
ARM. If the KLN 900 is in either Approach ARM or
Approach Active, the OCEANIC mode will be turned OFF
and the OCEANIC selection on the MODE page will not
be user-editable (figure 9-4).
NOTE: The PreFlight software program (described in
Appendix F) allows you to predict RAIM and FDE cover-
age along a flight plan. For more detailed information
about B-RNAV, FDE, Oceanic mode, and operating the
PreFlight software, please refer to the PreFlight User’s
Manual which is stored on the PreFlight diskettes.
