TRIP 1: Trip Planning 1 Page (TRI 1)
Fig5.2
The trip planning 1 page is used to plan a trip directly from your position to any waypoint in the
databank. The GS determined by the KLN 90B can be used for calculations on this page, or the user
can enter any GS to be used directly. The user enters the destination waypoint, and the unit
determines the distance and direction to get there. The user can also enter an estimated fuel flow
rate and amount to be held in reserve and the unit will calculate the amount of fuel required to get
to the destination. If you choose to enter the GS on this page yourself, you do not have to enter any
values on the TRI 0 page.
There are 6 Lines of information.
• Line 1: Display to show the planned trip goes from your present position to a specific
waypoint. The waypoint is listed on the right side of the line. In the figure above the
waypoint is KPHX.
• Line 2: Displays the distance in nm (left side) and the direction in degrees magnetic north
(right side) to the entered destination waypoint.
• Line 3: Displays the GS in knots (left side) and the time enroute in an hh:mm format to the
entered waypoint.
• Line 4: Displays the user entered fuel flow rate in gallons per hour.
• Line 5: Displays the user entered amount of fuel to be used as a reserve in gallons. The
amount of fuel in reserve is added to the amount required.
• Line 6: Displays the amount of fuel required for the trip in gallons.
