I am considering KLN-90B as replacement for my M-3 Approach. Question
for experienced KLN-90B users: Legality aside, can you operate
KLN-90B in approach mode (doing GPS approaches) with an outdated
database?

Thanks in advance,

Robin Hou

Yes.

anybody who does an approach in actual using a gps with an outdated data
base on a gps approach is just plain stupid.


This doesn't answer your Q but may I ask why the KLN90B? It is an out
of date product, WAY out of date in fact, and no longer made or even
properly supported with database updates (the flash card is too
small).

If you are looking for that size unit, a KLN94 is a lot better.


The KLN90B is fully supported by database updates. I think you're confusing
it with the KLN89B which has a smaller card, but even in the case of the
KLN89B the only thing you lose is Canada and South America which is not a
problem for most.
