Do they still make ONC/TPC charts?

OK, I see.

However, what Australian info does DAFIF provide? Navaid data must be
public domain, surely.

Apparently not. I don't believe the Canadian databases are public
domain either. Since they're copyrighted, the holder has the right to
assert their rights under the act.

In any case, DAFIF could simply strip out Australian data from itself.
Very few Americans fly to Australia; in fact *very* few people of any
sort fly to Australia. It's a massive distance and the only people
that do it are bizjet and airline pilots and they can all afford the
worldwide Jeppview subscription

And DAFIF decided rather than deal with filtering the datasets that
they would externally provide to include only information sourced in
the public domain (IIUC, the database is what's used for military
navigation publications - FLIP charts, enroute charts, FMS, etc), they
instead decided to stop providing the database to the public.
