I disagree. I have a KLN 89/B and the manual is confusing. I played
witht the Direct To but wanted more out of it. I did use an instructor
to get me started, and then some more flying with another pilot to watch
out for traffic. I bought the King (Martha and John) video on the 89/B
and found it very acceptable. I still go back as refreshers. I now feel
pretty confortable with it.

Download the manual from the King website.
Sit in the airplane and play with the buttons with the manual in your lap.
Go fly with another pilot. Let him/her fly while you play with the GPS.
Why waste money on the videotape. It has the same information as the manual.
You will learn more from pushing the wrong button than trying to
remember what the tape showed you.
That's why you have the manual in your lap.

Has anyone seen this video from King Schools: GPS From A-Z Featuring The
KLN94 - DVD? I'm looking for a training aid to really get familiar with the
KLN94 on the ground... Any other suggestions are welcome... Thanks.

I agree with Ross. My school's planes have both the 89B and the 94. I bought
both manuals early on in my training. I felt pretty good reading the manuals
and learning while flying. But, when I was ready to do my Inst. rating, I
bought both of the DVDs. It was very nice to see Martha go through actual
approaches with the boxes. I have been able to demonstrate features to my
instructor and examiner.
