Touchdown! Greaser!
A couple questions on the use/operation of the KLN-94 GPS:
I'm a renter, and have been making the transition from a plane with the Garmin 430 to a plane with the KLN-94. Not a lot of differences, but something happened this weekend that I couldn't figure out.
1) I've found the Honeywell website that will let me download the manual, but is there someplace where I could buy the book? Do avionics shops carry these or are there better places to mail order? I'd like to have one of my own instead of trying to borrow one from the plane.
2) Is there a simulator that can be downloaded?
Here's what happened: I was heading back home from a short flight, didn't need the GPS, but since I had it, I was using it. I had punched in Direct-To my airport. No problem, but after a few minutes, I noticed it had switched my destination to a different airport. I thought maybe I had put in the wrong destination, so I did it again. After a couple minutes I saw it switch to a different destination ( the same one it had switched to previously).
I figured that another renter had entered a flight plan from my airport to this other destination and the system was still trying to follow that course. I didn't want it to distract me anymore, so I just ignored it and planned on worrying about it later.
Just a matter of learning the equipment, but I'd like to get some ideas on where to get the information.
Thanks,
Matt
