6. Once established on the inbound course,
the LEG mode will again need to be
selected
so
that
proper
approach
operation and waypoint sequencing will
occur.
NOTE
It is mandatory that the unit is in the LEG
mode with the FAF as the active waypoint
before crossing the FAF to activate the
approach active mode and change to ±
0.3 nm scale factor. The CDI scale factor
changes from ± 1.0 nm to ± 0.3 nm over the
2 miles to the FAF. Delaying the switch
from OBS to LEG mode compresses the
scale factor change. This will make the
transition more abrupt. If the switch from
OBS to LEG is delayed too long, it will not
be possible for the KLN 90B to change to
the approach active mode.
7. When the aircraft is 2 nm from the FAF,
the KLN 90B will verify the proper GPS
integrity is available. If integrity monitoring
is available for the approach, the KLN 90B
will change to the approach active mode.
This will be annunciated on the external
approach status annunciator as well as on
the KLN 90B. The CDI scale factor will
also start to change from ± 1.0 nm to ±
0.3 nm.
8. Normal waypoint alerting will occur as the
aircraft passes the final approach fix. The
leg from the final approach fix to the
missed approach point will become active
and the CDI scale factor will remain at
± 0.3 nm. If the auto scale factor was
selected on the Super NAV 5 page, the
scale factor will zoom in on the airport as
the aircraft gets closer and closer to the
missed approach point. Eventually the
map scale changes to 1 nm and the
runway diagram becomes visible on the
map.
9. The missed approach instructions may call
for a climbing turn to a heading to
intercept a course to the missed approach
holding point. To fly this with the KLN
90B, it will be necessary to put the KLN
90B into the OBS mode. Make the missed
approach
holding
point
the
active
waypoint. Change the selected course on
the external EHSI to the published course
to the missed approach holding point. Fly
the heading until intercepting the course,
then turn and track the course.
NOTE
The KLN 90B must be in the OBS mode for
holding.
10. Once the aircraft reaches the missed
approach
holding
point,
perform
the
appropriate holding pattern entry. Set the
selected course on the EHSI to the
inbound holding course.
j. DME Arc Approach. DME arc procedures
with the KLN 90B are different from traditional VOR
and DME equipment. The KLN 90B provides left/right
guidance around the arc.
(1) ATC assigns the approach. Turn to the
APT 8 page for the destination to select the approach.
When the approach is selected, the KLN 90B presents
the IAF selection page.
(2) Two of the lAF's may be in the form
DxxxY. These two waypoints are the database
identifiers for the ends of the arc. D040L means DME
arc point 040 is the radial on which the waypoint lies,
and L indicates the distance of the arc. L is the twelfth
letter of the alphabet so L indicates that this is the
12 NM DME arc.
CAUTION
The KLN 90B does not take into account
the geometry of the active flight plan when
determining the arc intercept point. This
point is defined solely on the present radial
and the defined arc distance from the
reference VOR. For this reason, it is better
to delay selecting approaches that contain
DME arcs until the aircraft is closer to the
destination.
NOTE
If the present radial from the reference
VOR is outside of the defined arc, the KLN
90B will default to the beginning of the arc.
(3) The KLN 90B recognizes if this point is
associated with a DME arc. Once the arc waypoint is
chosen, the KLN 90B determines on what radial of the
reference VOR is presently located. A waypoint is
created that is located at the intersection of the
present radial and the DME arc. This waypoint is the
first waypoint in the list of waypoints presented on the
APT 8 page before loading the approach into the flight
plan. This waypoint is named in the same convention
as above.
