5.10.6. THE AUXILARY 9 (AUX 9) WIND PAGE

The AUX 9 page is used to determine the present wind direction and
speed. In addition, the headwind or tailwind component of the wind is dis-
played.

To calculate the winds aloft:

1.

Turn on the cursor (

B).

2.

Enter the aircraft’s true airspeed
by using the right inner knob (fig-
ure 5-77). If the AUX 8 page was
previously used to calculate true
airspeed, it will already be dis-
played.

3.

Use the right outer knob to move
the cursor to the Hdg field, and
then use the right inner knob to
enter the aircraft’s heading (fig-
ure 5-78). The headwind or
tailwind and the wind direction
and speed are now displayed.
The wind direction is relative to true North.

NOTE: The wind calculations are only correct when you have entered the
correct aircraft heading and true airspeed. Make sure to re-enter new val-
ues if you change airspeed or heading.

NOTE: If the KLN 94 is interfaced with a compatible source of heading
input, this heading is automatically used in the wind calculation displayed
on the AUX 9 page. If the KLN 94 is interfaced with a compatible air data
system in addition to a compatible heading source, the AUX 20 page dis-
plays wind information directly.

5.10.7. THE AUXILARY 10 (AUX 10) ALARM PAGE

The AUX 10 page may be used to set a timed alarm. Instances where
you might want to use it include as a reminder to switch between left and
right fuel tanks or maybe just to remind you to eat lunch! Line 2 of the
AUX 10 page shows the current time in the system time zone. The alarm
may be set by either of two methods: entering the time of day you wish the
alarm to activate, or the time interval from present time (i.e. twenty min-
utes from now). Line 5 displays the elapsed time since the KLN 94 was
turned on.
