that the ATIS frequency is 125.65 MHz, the pre-taxi clearance delivery
frequency is 118.95 MHz, and the ground control frequency is 121.90
MHz. After listening to ATIS, we contact clearance delivery for our
clearance out of the Little Rock Class C airspace. Next, we give
ground control a call and receive our taxi clearance.

6. By this time the KLN 94 has reached a NAV ready status. We can ver-

ify this by turning to the NAV 2 page. It shows a valid present
position, in this case 3.8 nautical miles on the 320 degree radial from
Little Rock (LIT) VOR.

outer knob to move the flashing part of the cursor to the desired cursor
location.

ROUTE

1.

We depart from runway 36 at Little Rock and are told to “maintain run-
way heading.” After several radar vectors for traffic avoidance we are
finally cleared on course. The D-Bar indicates that the radar vectors
have taken us north of the original course and we decide to proceed
Direct To Austin from our present position. To recenter the D-Bar,
press

D, and then press F.

2.

After departure control has directed “squawk 1200, frequency change
approved,” we decide it would be a good idea to obtain VFR flight fol-
lowing. To obtain the frequency for Center, press the

G button,

move the cursor to the CTR? selection, and press

F. The KLN 94

indicates that for our position, we should be able to contact Memphis
Center on 135.80 MHz.

3.

We’ve only flown about 100 nautical miles, but we begin wondering
where we would go if an engine suddenly started running rough. We
decide to use the KLN 94 to determine where the nearest airports are
from our present location. To view the nearest airports press

G, and

then press

F. The nearest airport is Hope Municipal (M18) which is

eight nautical miles from our position on a bearing to the airport of 11
degrees. You now rotate the right inner knob to view the other APT
