ORCA lower than MEA?

I can believe that. The last time we redrew the map it took one of our
guys a month or so to do it. It is not in an electronic format such as
a jpg. The MVA chart is drawn on a sectional and mailed to the people
who handle this with all the supporting documents. These people then
look at it and approve it and mail us back the electronic maps that get
installed in the system. It's pretty comical how much work that goes
into it.

That drawing on a sectional is going to be history soon. Your friends
in DC have finally developed an automated CAD tool to design MVAs and MIAs.
