Default GPS Use

My KLN 94 has a POH supplement that states the Pilots Guide is
incorporated by reference. The KLN94 Pilots Guide Part Number
006-18207-0000 page 2-4 states "Note: By FAA regulation, you are
required to have a current navigation database in order to use the KLN
94 for a non-precision approach."

Since the POH is required to be adhered to, and the Pilot's Guide is
incorporated by reference, it would seem to be the legal basis
mandataing a current database for any non-ILS approach with that unit.

It would have been nice of them to footnote what FAA regulation
they're referring to when they say that one requires a current
navigation database. Perhaps emailing Bendix/King and enquiring would
get them to send you the reference?

I need the FAR or Advisory Circular that covers this. The AIM is
actually the root of the problem. I believe it to be wrong and isn't
the legal basis anyways.

Maybe AIM 1-1-19.4.f will help.

Anybody have the link to the FAR that states what the requirements are for
IFR approved GPS's and the database currency for those units.
