What happens if halfway through the year, your book is so beat up that you need to buy a new one? The updates sheet you're getting is now relative to an issue of the book other than the one you're using. How does that work out? Well, if the update says "change the MDA to 2450" and the MDA is already 2450, then you don't need to do the update, do you? Is that how the updates work? If they're all like that, then it's obvious it should not be an issue. But are there things like "procedure redesigned, get new plate". With something like that, I would have no way of knowing if the plate I was looking at was the old or the new version. Or in a case like that, would it say "version xxxxx obsolete, replaced by version yyyyy" and I'd just have to verify I had the right version plate? |

I just got a notice from NGA that they intend to (on Oct 1, 2005)
discontinue disseminating DOD aeronautical information to the public. If that means what it sounds like it does, then it looks like we may all be using Jepp data. See the link below in the Federal Register. http://www.naco.faa.gov/content/naco...R-04-25631.pdf and http://www.naco.faa.gov/content/naco...ont_Notice.pdf Sounds Bad to me Mark Manes "Doug" wrote in message om... The www.airchart.com, Howie Keefe system works fine and is a LOT less expensive. You can get a year of the whole 48 states for $360 or so, and areas like the NE for $60. This includes (text) updates, but it works. I am not affilated with aircharts at all, but I have used them and I can tell you they work. Their VFR and IFR Atlases are really good too. |

Does this mean that the ability to download PDF images of charts will no longer be available? Just what exactly is the DAFIF anyway? (The way I read this, this is another argument for NOS vs Jepp, since Jepp publishes military plates, I believe, and NOS does not. Sounds like Jepp no longer will be able to. Correct me if I am wrong here, please.) |

With something like that, I would have no
way of knowing if the plate I was looking at was the old or the new version. Very easy. Bottom left hand corner has the Revision number for major revisions and a Julian date that is bumped for minor revisions. So download or view online any plates you're wondering about and print 'em if there is a change. |
