so you just plot your course, then check the V#s and see if any updates
have been issued on the charts you're using?

I look at the updates for any airport there's a reasonable chance I'll
use. That means my intended destination, the alternates, unless the
wx is good VFR in the destination area, and if it's a long flight,
those along the route.

Nowadays, I can print a plate if making the changes looks too
troublesome.

Of course, I carry the update with me on the flight, just in case....

I've been using AirCharts since about 175, and have never encountered
a problem.

I was fighting these updates.. that is much easier.. ugh..

Yes, much easier! You will never have to make 99% of those published
changes, unless you fly to different airports every day of the year.
