Default Missing approach in Garmin 530 database

Thanks for the info. I admit I didnt pay too close attention to the NOTAMS
since the weather was VFR and forecast to remain that way during our stay. I
only tried to punch it in the 530 when the controller asked me which
approach I wanted to do, even though it was 3800 broken on the ASOS.

I wonder why the FAA paper chart was still issued (it's still early in the
cycle to get a change notice)- it may be that the Garmin database is
actually more up to date than the FAA printed materials.

Anyway, thanks again.
