Yes, it is quite a lot of work, and few aerodrome operators pay heed to the need. It is indeed much easier to set up a website, or a paper publication, than to keep the information behind it up to date. I think it exemplary that you inform the publishers of AFE and Pooleys, both publications appearing to have acquired semi-official status; and SkyDemon close behind.

However I think the AAIB comment inappropriate: if someone publishes incorrect or outdated information, that is their responsability, not yours. And the pilot who trusted to only one source of information, and an unofficial one at that, is to blame, too. Don't we have the PPR mechanism to make sure that visiting pilots have the most recent information, from the best source? Yes, I know some pilots do not like PPR - well, that also is their own responsability.
