PRODUCT FAQ
Click on a question below to see the answer. If you have a question about this model that is not answered below, please contact sales@seaerospace.com
Is the Bendix/King KLN-89B compatible with GPS steering in an autopilot that includes this feature?
No, the KLN-89B does not provide the necessary output for GPSS.
What areas do the different GPS databases cover?
Click here to view a document containing the different database coverage areas.
Is the KLN-89B compatible with the S-Tec GPSS (GPS Roll Steering)?
No, the only Bendix/King GPS compatible with the S-Tec GPSS converter is the KLN-90B. The KLN-90B must have the latest software installed.
How do I update the database for my Bendix/King (Honeywell) GPS?
In most cases, Honeywell offers two options for GPS database updates:
- Card/cartridge replacement
- Computer download
Users can order a subscription and have a database card/cartridge delivered to a given address every 28 days. If an update is not required as frequently, users can simply order a database card or cartridge direct from Honeywell Wingman Services. Click Hereto go to the Wingman website.
The GPS database Internet download option is available for most receivers. The update is downloaded to a laptop computer. The laptop is then interfaced to the GPS inside the aircraft via the PC interface kit (P/N 050-03213-0000). Certain GPS receiver software as well as laptop performance requirements must be met in order to properly utilize Internet downloading and the computer interface. Please view the following document for complete instructions on computer updating. GPS_download.pdf
Please Note: The KLN-35A and KLX-135A GPS units can only be updated via computer as they do not have externally accessible databases.
What factors could be causing a newly installed or replacement avionics unit to not be working properly?
Many avionics systems require a configuration or setup process. This process is required to interface certain avionics systems to other systems in the aircraft that will be inputting or outputting information to and from these systems. Some examples of systems that require a configuration or setup process include:
Autopilot
EFIS
GPS
EGPWS
EHSI
RADAR
TAWS
TCAS
In addition, most newer technology or solid state systems require configuration via computer interface of some type. A qualified avionics technician should always refer to the appropriate manufacturer's installation manual for complete information and instructions.
How do I replace my KLN-89B with the KLN-94 Color GPS?
The KLN-94 is a direct replacement for the KLN-89B with no wiring or mounting changes needed. The KLN-94 uses a different database as well.
The KLN-94 has internal annunciators. Remote annunciators are only required if the KLN-94 (and its internal annunciators) are not in the pilot's field of view per the Flight Manual. If the existing KLN-89B was Approach certified, then the existing annunciators from that installation can be utilized.
Some setup and configuration is required when the KLN-89B is replaced with the KLN-94. This is all contained in the KLN-94 installation manual. In addition, the installer of the KLN-94 should verify that all other details related to IFR certification were complied with during the installation of the KLN-89B.
Lastly, a KLN-94 flight manual supplement must be created, FAA approved, and inserted in the pilot's operating handbook.
What is the main difference between the versions of Mid-Continent MD41 annunciators available?
A normal Annunciator Control Unit (ACU) includes a control and relay assembly. The control portion includes lighted annunciations (words) as well as a switch assembly to activate a relay. The relay assembly provides the electrical transfer of information between a conventional nav (VOR/ILS/GS) and GPS to one Course Deviation Indicator (CDI).
The ACU units can be complete with control and relay built into one assembly or they can be separated depending on the part number. Some GPS systems and CDIs include internal relays. Therefore, only a control with switch is required. In this case, you would only purchase the Control Head. Some installations use different custom sizes and styles of annunciator switches. Therefore, in this case, only a remote relay is purchased without a control assembly.
In addition to variations in switches, relays, and sizes, ACUs are engineered to be compatible with specific GPS systems by different manufacturers. Variations in power input and bezel orientation are available as well.
What is the function and reason for annunciators required in an IFR GPS installation?
For IFR GPS approach certification, GPS status annunciations are required to be in the pilot's field of view. These annunciations (or lights) indicate active switches such as the NAV/GPS and OBS (if applicable) modes. Other annunciations or alerts might include the following:
TERM - light that will signal pilot when operating within 30 miles of departure or arrival airport (i.e. Terminal area) APR - light that signals pilot when the GPS is engaged in Approach mode MSG - light that signals pilot that the GPS has generated a Message alert that should be viewed on the GPS WPT - light that signals pilot that the GPS has generated a Waypoint alert that should be viewed on the GPS INTG - light that will signal pilot when the GPS receiver detects a position error or is unable to calculate the Integrity of the position
Some annunciator units and annunciator control units or ACUs have a variety a these switches and annunciators depending on the GPS system to be interfaced with or the aircraft installation. However, there are certain annunciations such as MSG and WPT that are standard for all annunciators required.
How does Southeast Aerospace calculate exchange prices and acceptable exchange cores?
Southeast Aerospace exchanges are based on the return of an undamaged, economically repairable core unit with identical part number as the unit shipped to the customer. An "economically repairable" core is defined as one where the cost to repair/overhaul (or Repair Cap) does not exceed 75% of the original SV/OH exchange price billed. Should the Repair Cap exceed 75%, the customer will be billed the additional amount. In the event this amount exceeds the Outright Price for the unit, the customer would only be billed the difference between the Outright Price and SV/OH Exchange Price with the core returned as-is to the customer.
Here is an example of such a transaction:
$1000 Exchange Price charged to customer
$1000 x .75 = $750 Maximum Allowable core repair charge or Repair Cap
$2000 Cost to repair core unit
- $750 Less Core repair cap
---------
$1250 Additional billing amount.
2250.00 Total Cost of transaction
Please Note:
SEA offers exchange on new items as well. However, repair cap as indicated above is still based on SV/OH exchange price.
Can I use a KLN-89 database cartridge with the KLN-94?
No. The two cartridges are physically different in dimensions and will not fit into the same slot. Another difference is the number of pins; the KLN-89 cartridge has a 40-pin connector, while the KLN-94 cartridge has a 50-pin connector. Notice the comparison pictures below.
I have a KLN-89B with a defective display, can I exchange this unit with Southeast Aerospace for working unit?
No. With the rising cost and limited availability of the Plasma Module display ($1075 List), KLN-89B unit with defective displays can no longer be economically repaired. That is, the cost to repair a KLN-89B with defective display exceeds the cost to purchase a unit Outright from Southeast Aerospace.
Are SEA's Exchange prices negotiable?
Negotiating the exchange price of a unit only limits the allowable repair cap for the core unit. Southeast Aerospace's exchange transactions are based on the return of economically repairable core unit. Once the core is received and evaluated, the core repair cost incurred by SEA cannot exceed 75% of the original exchange price. That is, it cannot cost SEA more than 75% of the original exchange price collected from the customer. Therefore, when and if an SEA exchange price is discounted, there is a risk that additional charges may be assessed once the core is returned and evaluated.
