The height above airport alert feature does
not serve the same function as a radar
altimeter. It does not provide any warning
about the aircrafts actual height above the
airports surrounding terrain.
CAUTION
The height above airport alert feature will
only be accurate if the barometric altimeter
setting is correct. If the height above
airport function is enabled, ensure the
barometric altimeter setting is correct on
the ALT page.
(1) When the height above airport is enabled,
the KLN 90B creates a 5-nm radius cylinder of
airspace centered on an airport. This airport is any
airport that is a direct to waypoint or is the to waypoint
in the active flight plan. The height of the cylinder
above the airport is the height selected on the SET 5
page. The KLN 90B adds the selected altitude to the
elevation stored in the database for the airport. The
KLN 90B provides an altitude alert light when the
aircraft first penetrates the cylinder.
(2) To enable or disable the height above the
airport alert, press the left CRSR button. Use the left
outer
knob
to
position
the
cursor
over
the
enable/disable field. Turn the left inner knob to select
ON or OFF. To select the height, use the left outer
knob to position the cursor over the altitude field. Turn
the left inner knob to select an offset between 800 and
2000 feet. Press the left CRSR button to turn off the
cursor function.
g. The Setup 6 Page. Turn anticipation may be
enabled or disabled on the SET 6 page. Refer to
Figure 3D-86. Turn on the left cursor function and use
the left inner knob to select between ENABLE or
DISABLE. If turn anticipation is disabled, navigation is
provided all the way to the waypoint and waypoint
alerting occurs approximately 36 seconds prior to
actually reaching the waypoint.

buffer, ensure the SUA feature has been enabled.
Press the left CRSR button to turn on the left cursor
and then use the left outer knob to move the cursor
over the first position of the vertical buffer. Use the left
inner knob to select each number and the left outer

selected in 100-foot increments. After the desired
selection has been made, press the left CRSR button
to turn off the cursor function.
