Default Govt Plates

I see the latest batch of government approach plates are printed on
nice white paper, rather like the stuff Jepp uses. Much better! The
nasty old paper they used to use was very hard to read in low light
conditions as the contrast was rather lacking. They are always one step
behind Jepp, but at least they're trying to keep up...


I mostly use those charts as backups to my own printed or electronic
charts, so I am more than willing to sacrifice quality for lower price
and weight. A higher grade paper will weigh more and may take up more
space. I hope that doesn't mean the price is going up.
