If the SUA alert feature has been enabled, the KLN 94 allows you to select
a vertical buffer on the SET 5 page in order to provide an additional layer
of protection from inadvertently
entering an SUA. To select a vertical
buffer, make sure the SUA alert fea-
ture has been enabled. Turn on the
cursor (

B) and use the right outer

knob to position the cursor over the
Buffer altitude field (figure 3-186).
Then use the right inner knob to
select the buffer (figure 3-187). The
buffer may be selected in one hun-
dred foot or ten meter increments.
After the desired selection has been
made, turn the cursor off.

The vertical buffer serves to “stretch” the SUA area in both directions (up
and down) by the selected buffer altitude. For example, let’s say you have
selected a buffer of 1,000 feet and the actual SUA area exists from 5,000
feet MSL to 12,000 feet MSL. In this case you will receive SUA alert mes-
sages if you fly at any altitude between 4,000 and 13,000 feet MSL.

CAUTION: It is the pilot’s responsibility to avoid those areas of spe-
cial use airspace where ATC clearance to penetrate is required but
has not been obtained. The KLN 94’s special use airspace alert is
only a tool to assist the pilot and should never be relied upon as the
sole means of avoiding these areas.

NOTE: Special Use Airspace alerting is disabled when the KLN 94 is in
the approach arm or approach active modes.

3.14. REMOTE MOUNTED ANNUNCIATORS

The KLN 94 has outputs capable of driving several remote annunciator
lights. Since the KLN 94 is capable of displaying many of these annuncia-
tions on the unit itself, a particular installation may or may not include
remote annunciators.

These annunciators should be
mounted in the pilot’s normal scan
area so that they are easily seen. A
typical annunciator unit integrating
several of the annunciators is shown
in figure 3-188; however, actual
annunciation abbreviations and con-
figurations may be different.
