updating AirChart IFR charts - PITA for everyone?

NO, they are amazingly simple!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO update them all! You "update" only the one or two
you're going to need on tomorrow's flight. Ignore the rest.

The odds are, you won't even have to update them, because there won't
have been any changes.

so you just plot your course, then check the V#s and see if any updates
have been issued on the charts you're using?

I was fighting these updates.. that is much easier.. ugh..

I look at the updates for any airport there's a reasonable chance I'll
use. That means my intended destination, the alternates, unless the
wx is good VFR in the destination area, and if it's a long flight,
those along the route.

Nowadays, I can print a plate if making the changes looks too
troublesome.

Of course, I carry the update with me on the flight, just in case....

I've been using AirCharts since about 175, and have never encountered
a problem.

Yes, much easier! You will never have to make 99% of those published
changes, unless you fly to different airports every day of the year.

Ah yes, 175, Marcus Aurelius was Emperor, and you had to use AirCharts
because the government maps were stone tablets that took up all of your
useful load...

ROTFLOL!! I'm ancient, but not THAT ancient! Should have said 1975.

I thought we should change your name to Icarus.

I'd rather be Daedalus, if that's OK. I'm an old pilot, not a bold
pilot. You know what happened to Icarus for being bold, don't you?
