![]() "EDR" wrote in message ... It doesn't matter if a "depiction" can be found on the web. It probably carries a "NOT FOR NAVIGATIONAL USE" notice. If I am at an airport preparing for a flight through that airspace, I most likely do not have access to a computer with a color printer that is capable of accurately reproducing the chart to scale so that it can be used for navigational purposes. If I call Flight Service on the telephone, I will be read the NOTAM text, not an accurate pictoral depiction. If I have received the briefing from the FSS specialist, it is considered that I am fully informed, when in fact I have only a fuzzy notion of the actual boundaries. Also consider that because of the irregularity of the airspace boundaries, I may be able to "draw" the boundaries, given lat/lon coordinates to create waypoints, on my VFR only, handheld GPS. Is this acceptable for navigation? Maybe Does the FAA consider this "official"? Probably not. So, if they are not willing to chart the boundaries on the offical, government produced charts, issued every six months, how are we expected to know, in the cockpit, flying along looking for ground references, where the boundaries are? Nevertheless, AeroPlanner's online charts do show it. |
