I wonder why they don't synchronize this with the Sectional publication
dates. The next San Francisco chart will come out in early September.

An airport in NJ, Lincoln Park, had a pattern changed from right
traffic to left recently. That information came out late last summer,
the November New York sectional did not reflect the change.
The new chart which came out this month reflects the change.


Sectional charts are updated during their 6 month lifespan via the
Aeronautical Chart Bulletin in the Airport/Facility Directory.

Yes, that's how I noticed Lincoln Park's change Still for airport
changes that aren't urgent, I don't see the harm in synchronizing the change
with the sectional publication dates. Going through a list of fine print
changes in some publication isn't practical when you need to obtain
information in flight about an airport you weren't planning to stop at;
looking at the current sectional is. IFR pubs are updated much more often so
it really isn't much of an issue.
