3.

Change the first character to a
B” (figure 3-67).

4.

Move the cursor to the second
character and select “M” (figure
3-68). Eureka! When you
entered the “M”, the KLN 94
searched its database for the
first VOR identifier beginning
with the letters “BM” and found
BMI. Many times you will only
have to enter two or three char-
acters of the waypoint identifier
and the KLN 94 will furnish the rest.

Turn off the cursor (

B).

3.8.2. SELECTING WAYPOINTS BY SCANNING

You may also select waypoints by scanning through them. This may be
done with the cursor either on or off.

To select a waypoint by scanning with the cursor off:

1.

Select the page type for the
waypoint you are looking for
(APT, VOR, NDB, INT or USR).

2.

Pull the right inner knob to the
“out” position. The SCAN
annunciator will appear (figure 3
– 69).

3.

Turn the right inner knob clockwise to scan through the waypoints in
alphabetical order, or counterclockwise to scan in reverse alphabetical
order. Remember that numbers are considered lower in order than
letters. Thus, the airport identifier KA2 comes before KAAF.

NOTE: The faster you turn the knob while scanning, the larger the step
through the waypoints. This variable rate scanning allows you to get from
one end of the list to the other very quickly. When the knob is turned
slowly, you will go through the waypoints one at a time.

You may also want to scan waypoints with the cursor on. This is especial-
ly useful if you remember the first part of the identifier, or if you wanted to
scan all airports that start with a KL, for example. Let’s give it a try.
