MOD: MODE PAGES
The primary use of the mode pages is to switch navigation modes between LEG and OBS modes. In
the LEG mode, the KLN 90B tracks the course laid out in the GPS flight plan, including automatic
sequencing of waypoints and Direct-To navigation. In the OBS mode, the KLN 90B interfaces with the
EFIS and tracks the navigation type chosen with the EFIS. Another use of the mode pages is to
change the CDI scale factor. Choices are 5, 1, and 0.2 nm to the left or right of the desired track, the
default setting is 5 nm. This includes all CDI scales on the panel gauges. If a CDI scale has 5 markers,
then the default scale value is 1 nm per mark. If the scale factor is set to 1 nm, then each mark is 0.2
nm, and if set to 0.2 nm, each mark is 0.04 nm. There are 2 mode pages, the LEG and the OBS pages,
and the CDI scale factor can be set on either page. Both the LEG and OBS modes have a Direct-To
function which allows the user to track directly to a destination. In the LEG mode tracking is to a
waypoint (discussed in the Direct-To section), and in the OBS mode it is to a station (MOD 2 section).
MODE 1: Mode 1 Page (MOD 1)
Fig6.1
The mode 1 page is used to set the navigation type to the LEG mode. The mode 1 page is the default
page, and the navigation type is automatically the LEG mode when on this page. Fig6.1 shows an
example of the MOD 1 page with the CDI scale set to +/- 5 nm. There are 3 Lines of information.
• Line 1: Indicates the LEG mode (MOD 1) is the active mode.
• Line 2: Indicates that it is the LEG mode that is the active mode.
• Line 3: Displays the user entered CDI scale factor. Choices include 5, 1, and 0.2 nm off the
desired track.
To use this mode page:
1. Display the MOD 1 page on the left screen. Click on the LEFT CURSOR BUTTON and a long
rectangle will appear behind the scale factor value on Line 3.
2. Use the LEFT INNER KNOB to toggle between the 3 choices.
