11.0 DELETING USER WAYPOINTS

A listing of all user-defined waypoints is contained on the Other 3 page

(OTH 3). The user-defined waypoints are listed by category; airports (A)
are first, VORs (V) are second, NDBs (N) are third, Intersections (I) are
fourth, and Supplemental waypoints (S) are last. Within each category,
the waypoints are alphabetized by identifier. To the right of the identifier is
the type waypoint defined (A,V,N,I, or S). If the waypoint is used in a flight
plan, the flight plan number is shown to the right of the waypoint type. If
more than five user waypoints exist, it is necessary to press the left
C and then use the left outer knob to scroll through the complete
list.
To delete a user waypoint:

• Select the OTH 3 page.

• Press the left

C and use the left outer knob to move the cursor over

the waypoint to be deleted. A waypoint contained in a flight plan cannot
be deleted without first either deleting the waypoint from the flight plan or
deleting the entire flight plan.

• Press

12.0 CREATING AND MODIFYING FLIGHT PLANS

The advantages of creating flight plans are: (1) the entire route of flight for
an upcoming trip can be created and stored prior to departure to reduce
workload while enroute; and (2) the routes for frequently made trips need
to be created just once and may then be recalled as required for later use.
The following rules and considerations apply to KLN 900 flight plans:

• The KLN 900 is capable of storing in its memory 25 flight plans plus an

active flight plan.

• Each of the flight plans may contain up to 30 waypoints. These way-

points may consist of any combination of published waypoints from the
database or user created waypoints.

• The flight plans are numbered 0 through 25 (FPL 0, FPL 1, FPL 2, ...,

FPL 25).

• The active flight plan is always FPL 0. The standard procedure is to

create a flight plan in one of the flight plans numbered as FPL 1, FPL 2,
FPL 3,..., or FPL 25. When one of these numbered flight plans is acti-
vated, it is copied to FPL 0, the active flight plan. This manual will refer
