NAV 5 page except there is an additional choice, AUTO, that is located
between the 1 and 1000 nm (or 2 km to 1850 km) scale factors. The
AUTO scale factor will automatically choose the smallest map scale that
will display the active waypoint and, if there is one, the waypoint after the
active waypoint. Choosing the AUTO scale factor means there is one less
item for you to worry about. This is especially helpful when conducting
non-precision approaches using the KLN 900.

Like the NAV 5 page, the Super NAV 5 page shows a graphics depiction
of the direct to waypoint or the waypoints making up the active flight plan.
But the Super NAV 5 page shows alphanumeric waypoint identifiers on
the graphics display to make orientation even easier for you.

You may elect to have nearby VORs, NDBs, and/or airports added to the
graphics display. To do so, press the right

C to display a pop up menu

on the right side of the screen. Notice from the menu that a circle with a
dot in the center represents a VOR, a smaller circle represents an NDB,
and a small diamond represents an airport. The VORs, NDBs, and air-
ports displayed are those from the nearest waypoint lists described in sec-
tion 9.0, “NEAREST AIRPORTS, VORS, AND NDBS.”

When the menu is first displayed the cursor will be on the VOR selection
field. Rotate the right inner knob to display one of the following: TLH, LH ,
H or OFF.

TLH - Terminal, low altitude, and high altitude VORs are selected. In
addition, VORs of undefined class will be displayed. In some parts of the
world VORs are not classified into one of the three standard classes;
therefore, TLH must be selected to display these undefined class VORs.

LH

- Only low altitude and high altitude VORs will be displayed.

H

- Only high altitude VORs will be displayed.

OFF - No VORs displayed

In a like manner, NDBs and/or airports may be selected by first using the
right outer knob to move the cursor over the NDB or APT selection field
and then using the right inner knob to select ON or OFF.

The map orientation can be changed by moving the cursor to the bottom
line of the pop-up menu and rotating the right inner knob. The map orien-
tation choices are the same as for the NAV 5 page: North up (N

?

?),

desired track up (DTK

?

?), actual track up (TK?

?), or heading up (HDG?

?) (if

a proper source of heading is provided to the KLN 900). Remember that
for actual track up, graphics are displayed only when the aircraft is moving
at a groundspeed greater than 2 knots.
