An amazing feature I missed that falcon71 told me about is that while entering the waypoints on the FPL screen. you can simply press ENTER on your keyboard instead of exiting KYBD mode each time. No need to reach for the mouse. Just press ENTER after typing the waypoint, and ENTER a second time to confirm the waypoint information.
A very well done video. Your tutorial explanations are very helpful when flying in the MSFS. Watching your video brought back memories of using the King avionic units in the airplanes that I flew in the my past piloting years. 👍🛩️
Super clear tutorial as always. I love how you can see the progression in tech from this through the 430 and 530. In the original manual for this unit they spend what seems to be a crazy amount of time explaining what a cursor is. Obvious now but probably not in 1992 or whenever this unit released.
Hello Kip, what a very interesting explanation of this KLN 90B GPS, I have never delved into it, but your explanation invites you to delve into it. Thank you for the explanation Kip.
Does the VNAV calculate a direct to for the waypoint you choose or does it take your current route into consideration which would be more track miles? Saw this piece of unit as a highlight of the Duke release, didn't know it was coming to the Comanche before your video. Cant wait! 😻
VNAV is calculated directly to the waypoint you provide it. It does not take the rest of the route into consideration. Just had to test it to make sure :-)
Oh really? What about the GNS 530? Been using vnav on that a lot thinking it's smart enough to take the flight plan into consideration.@@KipOnTheGround
Yoo Kip what I have done I went and baught the The Piston Duke so thought why not try using this older navigation aid. I thought Loran was an old aid . Thank You for this lesson
Nice! The Dukes are so good and the KLN is really fun. It'll be awesome seeing the KLN in more planes soon (A2A said they'd be adding it to the Comanche). Nice change of pace from the modern stuff for sure
Exellent video; I have probaly done somthing wrong in the setting, when set for GPS the HDG light is always on even if the AP is ofF, and HDG light is also on when NAV is turn on and the autopilot do not follow the leg any advice?
NAV won't activate until you fly close enough to the active leg. Just use HDG to fly towards the course with NAV mode on (armed/standby). Once you're close enough, NAV will activate and follow the course as expected.
@@KipOnTheGround no, this is not the case for my i am in a flight right now and on the course (accoring to nav 3 window on right side) the nav light is on so is hdg AP is in GPS mode and EN-leg but the AP do not guide the plane only adsjusting with hdg works??
@@KipOnTheGround i found the error, by accident the falcon folder was twice in the community folder and inside another folder , and i also had v.1.1 no it works an is updated to v1.1
