The range scale indicates the distance from the aircraft’s position (the dia-
mond or aircraft symbol) to the top of the screen. Range scale selections
from 1 NM to 1000 NM or from 2 km to 1850 km may be made by
pressing the appropriate

C and turning the appropriate inner knob.

When the NAV 5 page is displayed on the left side of the screen and any
selected waypoint page is displayed on the right side, the location of the
selected waypoint is indicated by a “+” on the NAV 5 page. Of course, the
display scale must be chosen which allows the selected waypoint to be
displayed.

5.7 The Super NAV 5 Page
The Super NAV 5 page provides you with a true moving map display of
your present position and route of flight in relation to nearby navaids and
airports. The Super NAV 5 page is displayed by selecting the NAV 5 page
on both the left and right sides at the same time. The Super NAV 5 page
has a unique format unlike any other KLN 900 page. This is done so that
you get the maximum amount of screen dedicated to graphics display.
There are no page display indicators in the lower left and right segments
of the display to tell you the Super NAV 5 page is being displayed.
However, you will soon learn to recognize the Super NAV 5 page by its
unique format. The mode annunciation, which normally appears in the
lower center segment of the screen, is now located on the far left side.
The message prompt is now located in the lower left corner of the
graphics display.

The left side of the Super NAV 5 page shows the following information:

• Distance to the active waypoint
• The active waypoint identifier
• Mode of operation
• Groundspeed
• *Estimated time enroute, cross track error, or VNAV status
• *Desired track, bearing to active waypoint, or radial from active waypoint
• *Actual track, bearing to active waypoint, or radial from active waypoint

The lines above with an * in front can be configured by the pilot to display
any of the items listed. This is done by pressing the left

C and rotating

the left outer knob counterclockwise until it is over the desired line. Turn
the left inner knob to choose between items for a given line. When all
selections are complete, turn off the cursor by pressing the left

C.

The map scale is also changed by using the left cursor button. To change
the map scale, press the left

C to place the cursor over the map scale

factor at the bottom left corner of the map display. Turn the left inner knob
to select a map scale. The map scale choices are the same as for the
