International, or Pacific International aeronautical database is being
used. If the aeronautical database (airports, navaids, approaches, etc)
is current, line 2 will show the date when the aeronautical database
expires (figure 3-18). If the aeronautical database is out of date, line 2
shows the date that it expired (figure 3-19). The KLN 94 will still func-
tion with an out-of-date aeronautical database; however, you must
exercise extreme caution and
always verify that the database
information is correct before
using information from an out-of-
date aeronautical database.
Line 3 indicates which database
region is used for the LAND

ORS 02 and higher units. Line 4
displays the date that the land
database was created. The
land database has no expiration
date and new data is available
approximately once a year.
