TRIP: TRIP PLANNING PAGES
The trip planning pages are used to determine the amount of time, and the fuel required to go
directly from the present position to any other position in the world (within 10,000 nm). There are 3
trip planning pages. The first page is used to enter the TAS and wind data. This data is used by the
KLN 90B to calculate an estimated GS to be used in planning specific trips on the TRI 1 and TRI 2
pages. Alternatively, the user can enter and use any GS desired on these 2 pages. The data on the
trip planning pages is used by the unit to calculate estimates of distance, ETE, bearing, and fuel
requirements.
The TRI 1 and TRI 2 pages display the same type of information; the difference being that the TRI 1
page is used to plan a trip from your current position to a waypoint, and the TRI 2 page to plan a trip
to anywhere.
TRIP 0: Trip Planning 0 Page (TRI 0)
Fig.5.1
The trip planning 0 page is used to enter the TAS, wind direction, and wind strength that will be
encountered during the trip that is planned on the TRI 1 or TRI 2 pages. The wind direction, wind
strength, and destination direction are used to determine the headwind/tailwind component of the
wind which is then used with the TAS to get an estimated GS. The GS is then used with the
destination distance to determine the ETE. The GS is also used with the entered fuel flow to
determine the fuel required. There are 5 lines of information.
• Lines 1 and 2: Functional title of the TRI 0 page.
• Line 3: Displays the user entered TAS in knots.
• Line 4: Displays the user entered wind direction in degrees true north.
• Line 5: Displays the wind velocity in knots.
