5.1.4 The Trip Planning 5 And Trip Planning 6 Pages
(TRI 5 and TRI 6)
The TRI 5 and TRI 6 pages are used to do trip planning
for any one of the previously entered flight plans (FPL 0,
FPL 1, FPL 2, ..., FPL 25). The KLN 900 does not have
to be receiving GPS signals or even be connected to an
antenna in order to utilize these pages. To use the TRI
5 and TRI 6 pages:
1. Select the TRI 5 page on the left side (figure 5-18).
2. Press the left C to turn on the left cursor function.
The cursor will be located over the flight plan num-
ber.
3. Rotate the left inner knob to select the desired flight
plan to be analyzed (figure 5-19). The first and last
waypoints in the selected flight plan are displayed on
the second line. The distance and estimated time
enroute are also displayed. There is no bearing dis-
play since the flight plan can have up to 30 way-
points which creates 29 flight plan legs.
If you entered true airspeed and wind velocity informa-
tion on the TRI 0 page, the groundspeed displayed is
the average groundspeed for the flight plan. It is the
result of the true airspeed and wind velocity entered on
the TRI 0 page applied to each leg of the flight plan.
You may also enter any groundspeed you desire by
using the left outer knob to position the cursor over each
digit of the groundspeed and using the left inner knob to
select each individual digit.
If data is entered for fuel flow (FF) and reserve fuel
(RES), as described for the TRI 1 page, the fuel
required for the trip is now displayed. Fuel flow and
reserve fuel entries made on the TRI 5 page also input
this same data on the TRI 1 and the TRI 3 pages.
4. Turn off the left cursor function and then select the
TRI 6 page (figure 5-20). The minimum enroute safe
altitude (ESA) and a listing of areas of special use
airspace along the flight plan route are displayed. If
all of the areas of special use airspace won't fit on
one page, there will be multiple TRI 6 pages indi-
cated by TRI+6.
