As Fluke says, it seems OM A and OM C are becoming less and less useful outside of scheduled commercial operators who have the luxury of expanding a route structure in a controlled manner. OM A is regularly failing in giving very basic direction to crew in one operation I know of. OM C is not worth the bandwidth it's updated over with little to no useful information available. Most Cat C airfields are relegated to just giving a few reasons as to why they are categorised as a Cat C airfield i.e. "mountainous". Unfortunately what could be a fantastic tool is now just a way to tick off a requirement to say the crew could self-brief.
The flip side - are you volunteering to get stuck in and write sections of the OM C? Most non-scheduled operators have an enormous lack of manpower. Don't like it? Get involved and fix it!
