CHAPTER 2 - DATABASE One reason the KLN 90B is such a powerful navigation system is because of its extensive database. A database is an area of electronic memory used to store a large cat- alog of navigational and aeronautical information. 2.2 DATABASE COVERAGE AREAS AND 2.1 FUNCTIONS OF THE DATABASE CONTENTS The database provides two primary functions. First, it makes pilot interface with the GPS sensor much easier. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Rather than having

2.4.1 Computer Updating Of The Database Update information is sent to you on several 3.5” disks. In order to use this update method you must have access to an IBM compatible computer having a disk drive capa- ble of using and booting (loading) from 3.5” 1.44 megabyte high density disks. This computer also needs to have an available COM 1 or COM 2 serial port. In addition, an optional PC Interface kit must be used. Included in the kit are a data loader jack (wired to the KLN 90B and usually inst

When the cartridge is properly inserted, the “Insert To Here” marking on the label can just be seen protruding from the rear of the KLN 90B (figure 2-11). 6. Make sure that the front lug of the locking mechanism is in the up position (figure 2-9). Insert the KLN 90B back in the rack as far as it will go. 7. Re-insert the insertion/removal tool. Turn the tool clockwise until snug. T
