2. DATA BASE
2.1. DATA BASICS
The data base provides two primary functions. First, it makes pilot
interface with the GPS sensor much easier. Rather than having to
manually look up and then enter the latitude and longitude for a spe-
cific waypoint, it allows you to merely enter a simple waypoint
identifier. The data base automatically looks up and displays the lati-
tude and longitude associated with the identifier. It should be obvious
that the data base saves a lot of tedious latitude/longitude entry and
also greatly reduces the potential for data input mistakes.
The second function of the data base is that it serves as a very con-
venient means to store and easily access aeronautical information.
Want to know the name of the airport, the nearest city, or the airport
elevation? Just unleash the power of the KLN 89(B) and display the
information right on the screen.
‡Thirdly, the KLN 89B data base stores non-precision approaches in
their proper sequence. This allows you to select an approach as a
whole, rather than entering the approach waypoint by waypoint.
2.2. DATA BASE CONTENTS AND COVERAGE AREAS
There are three data base coverage areas available for the
KLN 89(B). They are referred to as the “Americas” data base, the
“Atlantic” data base, and the “Pacific” data base.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Aeronautical
Radio, Inc. (ARINC) break the world into the ten geographic regions
shown in
figure 2-1 . The KLN 89(B) Americas data base contains
aeronautical information for the group of ICAO regions consisting of
Canada, USA, Latin America, and South America. The KLN 89(B)
Atlantic data base provides information for the ICAO regions Europe,
Africa, East Europe, and Mid East. Likewise, the Pacific data base
contains information for East Europe, Mid East, Pacific, and South
Pacific.
