cator should display 34.5 nm. If necessary, refer to the KLN 900 Pilot’s
Guide for more information. The KLN 900 stores the correct time, date
and last location of the aircraft in memory. If any of these parameters are
not correct then the GPS receiver in the KLN 900 will automatically enter a
mode in which it can determine this information. This usually will take less
than 12 minutes, so the KLN 900 should be able to determine its position
by the time you have taxied to the runway. However, if a quicker time to
lock onto satellites is required it is possible to shorten this time by giving
the KLN 900 the correct date and time. This is explained in the following
two steps.
• If the date is incorrect, rotate the right outer knob counterclockwise until
the cursor is over the entire date field. Rotate the right inner knob until
the correct day of the month is displayed. Then, rotate the right outer
knob one step clockwise to place the flashing part of the cursor over the
month field (three dashes). Rotate the right inner knob to display the
correct month. Rotate the right outer knob one step clockwise again and
then use the right inner knob to select the first digit of the correct year (a
9 for 1999, for example). Next, rotate the right outer knob one more step
clockwise and then use the right inner knob to select the second digit of
the year. When the date is correct press
E.
• If it is necessary to reset the time, use the right outer knob to position the
cursor over the time zone field. Use the right inner knob to select the
desired time zone. UTC (Coordinated Universal Time, which is also
called “Zulu”) is always a good choice. Now, turn the right outer knob
one step counterclockwise to position the cursor over the entire time
field. Use the right inner knob to select the correct hour. Since 24 hour
time is used be sure to add 12 if the time is after 1:00 P.M. (2:30 P.M.
becomes 14:30). Next, turn the right outer knob one step clockwise to
position the flashing part of the cursor over the first minutes position.
Turn the right inner knob to select the correct value. Turn the right outer
knob one more step clockwise to position the flashing part of the cursor
over the second minutes position. The right inner knob is now used to
finalize the time selection. When the correct time has been entered,
press
E to start the clock running.
• Turn the right outer knob clockwise to position the cursor over the first
two digits of the altimeter baro set field if the cursor is not there already.
The last KLN 900 baro setting entered is displayed.
NOTE: The KLN 900 will use an altitude input from an altitude encoder or
air data computer. Since the altitude from these devices is usually pres-
sure altitude, altimeter baro correction is required to ensure maximum
