pages for Hope Municipal. We learn, for example, that it is located in
Hope, Arkansas, and has two hard surface runways that are each
5500 feet in length. By pulling the right inner knob to the “out” position,
you may now scan clockwise through the remaining 19 airports in the
nearest airport list.

For the majority of the en route portion of the flight, you select the

NAV 4 page’s moving map display by pressing the map range scale
(

R

) button. You continue to press the

R

button up or down to select

the 30 nautical mile range scale. Press the

M

button to display the

map menu. From this map menu page you may quickly get to the SET
7 page to configure the aeronautical data or the SET 8 page to config-
ure the land data as desired. In addition you can change the map
orientation from the map menu page.

5.

Since it is a good idea to not rely on just one navigation source, we
cross check the KLN 94 position against other equipment in the air-
craft. The NAV 2 page indicates we are presently located on the
Texarkana (TXK) VOR 68 degree radial at a distance of 19 nautical
miles. By tuning our NAV receiver and DME to TXK, we are able to
confirm that this is the correct position.

3.17.3 TERMINAL AREA

1. About 50 nautical miles from Austin’s Mueller airport we start prepar-

ing for our arrival. Viewing the APT 5 page for KAUS you determine
that the ATIS frequency is 124.40 MHz and tower is 121.00 MHz.

2. A few minutes later, the message prompt begins flashing. When you

press

C, the message page advises Airspace Alert - Austin CL C

- Below 4500 ft - See KAUS freq-Press CLR. The Special Use
Airspace Alert feature has determined that you are within 10 minutes
of penetrating the Austin Class C airspace. When you press

E and

view the APT 5 page for KAUS, you see that the Class C airspace fre-
quencies are sectorized. You determine from the APT 5 page that the
proper frequency to use is 118.80 MHz since we are Northeast of
Austin and 118.80 MHz is the appropriate frequency to use from 355
degrees to 175 degrees. You turn to the NAV 4 page so that you can
see the outer boundary of the Austin Class C airspace relative to your
location and route.

3. After you call Austin approach control for clearance into the Class C

airspace, you view the rest of the APT pages for KAUS to determine
the field elevation and available runways.

6.

After landing, the KLN 94 is turned off either by pulling the
On/Off/Brightness knob out to the Off position, or with the avionics
master switch if one is installed.
