BASIC KMD 250 OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
All of us at Honeywell congratulate you on choosing this product. You
are now the owner of one of the most sophisticated yet simple-to-use
multifunction displays available today. We understand you probably
can’t wait to see it in action but before you try to use it do please take
the time to read through this manual and understand its many interesting
and useful features. Time spent in familiarizing yourself with your new
KMD 250 unit will be more than repaid by trouble-free operation later,
and more importantly safe and accurate navigation.
We have made the operation of this unit as intuitive as possible through
the use of Softkeys, menus, and on-screen help, thus reducing pilots’
dependence on the manual. You should very quickly find that handling it
efficiently and expertly becomes second nature to you. Don’t be afraid
to experiment.
We thank you for your decision to purchase a KMD 250 and wish you
many happy and safe hours flying.
The KMD 250 MFD is a panel mounted Multi-Function Display system
that is available with an optional internal VFR GPS navigator. The KMD
250 is a component of the Bendix/King Integrated Hazard Avoidance
System (IHAS) family of products that are designed to improve the pilot's
ability to manage four major safety hazards: situational awareness
(moving maps), weather, traffic, and terrain avoidance.
The KMD 250 features a 3.8 inch diagonal color LCD display. It includes
a high capacity data card for storing Jeppesen aviation data as well as
cartographic map data including terrain elevation, roads, lakes, rivers,
railroads, obstacles, political boundaries, cities, and urban areas. The
card is updated on a 28 day cycle. Application software is also included
on this card.
The KMD 250 is available in two versions. One version has an internal
GPS and the other requires GPS information from an external source,
such as the KLN 94. The internal GPS is certified only for VFR opera-
tions. The functions of both versions will be discussed in this pilot’s
guide. Functions that are related to the use of the optional internal GPS
are marked with this symbol.
