6.2.5 Example of a STAR Procedure

To illustrate the use of the KLN 900 with STAR procedures the steps required to fly Acton Four arrival to

Dallas/Fort Worth International will be shown in this section. This procedure is considerably simpler than the SID example shown in section 6.2.4.

For this example assume that the aircraft departs from El

Paso, Texas and files for the Acton Four arrival with the

Wink transition. Use the following steps to fly this procedure with the KLN 900 and refer to the chart for this

STAR (figure 6-44):

Load the STAR into the flight plan as described in section 6.2.2.

This STAR is very simple and the KLN 900 will automatically guide the aircraft along the proper route until the

AQN VOR.

Long before reaching AQN examine this procedure and notice that there are two different routes depending on what type of aircraft is flying the STAR. Turbojets fly to

CREEK intersection while non-turbojets fly to RENDY intersection. The database in the KLN 900 has the sequence of waypoints for the turbojet procedure NOT the sequence for non-turbojets.

NOTE: It is extremely rare to have a different path over the ground for turbojets and non-turbojets, but be sure to cross check with your paper charts.

If the aircraft you are flying in is a turbojet, then fly the rest of the STAR as depicted on the chart with no changes to the flight plan. If the aircraft is not a turbojet then follow these steps:

Turn to the FPL 0 page and delete the following waypoints: MARKUM, BRYAR, HULEN, FLATO, and

CREEK. To do this turn on the left cursor and rotate the left outer knob until the cursor is over one of the above waypoints.

Press

F and then

E to delete a waypoint.

Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all of the unnecessary waypoints are deleted.

Now add JERRY, CRESN, and RENDY to FPL 0 by using the left inner and outer knobs and

E as necessary.

The rest of the STAR can now be flown.
