Noticed today a large area marked on our g1000 mfd, from Leuchars west and north marked "orbit 9 dngr"
Must have appeared with the last update. Nothing on notams, vfr or ifr charts. Wtf? Any ideas?

AWACS orbit area? See AeroResource.co.uk • Home to the Aviation Enthusiast • (http://www.aeroresource.co.uk/aviationmaps/)

Shouldn't affect your operations.

Thanks BEagle. That seems lodgical. None of the areas shown are exactly the same but I'm used to that happening with a Jepp database.
