Default OBS Mode for procedure turn

Ok, I think I've got it... As I'm approaching the fix, I hit OBS, and
since I had the correct OBS setting, I'm navigating to it still just as
if it were a VOR. (Before I was thinking of pressing OBS and setting
the inbound course immediately, where the CDI goes to the side and your
still trying to go to the fix).


Sounds about right.

You should get the waypoint light flashing as you fly over/fly by. When
you get that waypoint passage indication, fly your PT or Hold. If you
have a to/from indication on your CDI that should flip/change as well
when you pass the station/waypoint

When you turn inbound, make whatever adjustments you need to, with your
plane and with the Obs (usually only a degree or two if you nail the
pt/hold) to fly TO the waypoint. If you are ready to continue the
approach, un-select OBS and when you fly over, you sequence to the next
point as expected.

This particular issue is addressed in the KLN-94 Pilot's Guide section
5.5, or page 145 - 150 if you have it in PDF.

Hope its clearing up a bit
Dave
