Further to our emails last week I can now confirm that the CAA will be
issuing a new edition of the Southern England 1:500,000 to coincide with the
implementation of the new Bristol/Cardiff Airspace. This will be Edition 32A
- and will also show all other changes that have taken place since 2
February 2006. The 2007 chart (Edition 33) will be published as scheduled
next March - and the Edition 32 Frequency Reference card will remain in
circulation until then.
For reference the chart updates and updated frequency cards can be downloaded from links on this page.
AIC 96/2006 (Yellow 217) with full details of the changes will be published on 20 July.
Slightly more annoyed will be those who (like me) just very recently paid over £50 for the electronic version of the Southern UK CAA chart, with the "Memory Map" name stuck on the CD case.
I will write to them to see if they do something - anything is better than paying £100 just for this one chart.
