KLN89B manual by TNap
I am in need of original manufacture's user manuals for the KLN89B. The manufacturer no longer produces the spiral bound manual that is required to be in the aircraft. Reproductions of the manual from the PDF document are not an acceptable substitute for the manual that must be carried in the...
