RAF UK (L) 2 & UK (H) 2 charts - where?

[Norman Goering]

Please forgive my civilian intrusion.....

I am temporarily engaged in some exec flying and have been asked to obtain the following charts:

RAF UK(L) 2 - Enroute Low Altitude
RAF UK(H) 2 - Enroute High Altitude
RAF Enroute Supplement - British Isle & North Atlantic

My own experience is with civvy Aerad or Jepp charts and I can't seem to locate anywhere that supplies the above. Any ideas or pointers on where I might obtain them from, if indeed that is even possible?

Thanks in advance.

AIDU based at Northolt will be able to help

fabs, thank you very much for your swift response. A suitable request has been sent to AIDU.

AIDU will probably direct you to the MoD Map and Air Chart Depot. They should be contactable through Ministry of Defence | About Defence | What we do | Security and Intelligence | DIS | ICG | Defence Geographic Centre (DGC) (http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/AboutDefence/WhatWeDo/SecurityandIntelligence/DIS/ICG/DefenceGeographicCentredgc.htm)

They may still release air charts to private individuals as a prepayment issue. They won't be cheap and the worse they can do is say no to an enquiry.

Pretty much all of AIDU's baseline products are available for commercial use now. There is even a price tag on the fast jet TAP books - an eye-watering £70 or so IIRC! There are definitely prices on the ERCs too.

Perhaps if those prices had been on the books when I went through training, we student pilots might have thought twice before tearing out one or two pages and chucking the rest of the book away :eek: (I suppose at least that was better than ripping out pages and putting the book back on the rack. Would it really have been so hard to provide colour photocopiers?)

I'd save yourself the cash... The last lot printed missed off entire danger areas!

Which didn't come into effect until 8 March, before which (27 Feb) replacement charts, effective 9 March (to avoid confusion), were in the post!

Pays to subscribe and keep up to date ;)


p.s. Charts effective 8 March 12 should be destroyed
