INTRODUCTION
The King KNS
80
Integrated Navigation System
combines a 200-channel VOR/Localizer receiver, a
40-channel glideslope receiver, a 200-channel
DME,
and
a digital RNAV computer with capability for preselection
and storage
of
4 VOR/LOC frequencies or RNAV waypoint
parameters.
Add a course deviation indicator and Marker
Beacon receiver display unit and you have a complete
NAV/RNAV/
I
LS
system.
This remarkably compact and lightweight unit, just
3
inches high
(7.6
cm) and weighing only
6
pounds (2.7 kg),
is the product of full utilization of state-of-the-art
electronics, including extensive use of Large Scale
Integration
(LSI).
The unit requires only 25 watts input power and
will operate on any voltage from
11
to
33
volts with no
modifications or accessories.
Two internal batteries provide the power to retain
stored waypoint information separate from the aircraft
electrical system. The batteries are accessible for
replacement (approximately every 2 years) without
removing the KNS
80
from the panel.
The purpose of this Pilot Guide is to acquaint you with
the operation and controls of the KNS
80.
You
will be as
impressed by the simplicity of its operation and the ease
with which you can learn to use
it
as
you will be pleased
