Using the KLN89B/94 GPS for IFR Flight

San Carlos Flight Center invites Assistant Chief Pilot Brian Eliot to describe the functionality of  these capable units. He will review the buttonology and knowledge required to confidently operate the unit in various IFR scenarios. While many of these units are being replaced with newer technology, renter or veteran pilots might still encounter them and should know how to operate them. Take the time now to become better acquainted with the operations of these units. Knowledge on your aircrafts avionics package is crucial for flight safety, and the KLN89B/94 is no exception.

There is a reason why they are still approved by the FAA for IFR Flight. Join us to find out how to use this capable system on your next flight.
