Airport operators are supposed to promulgate changes by the AP but this does not happen properly. Take a look at Sywell, the 07/25 runway has been closed for at least 6 months. I have the AP on CD with updates and it does not show the changes here or the website. What is supposed to happend and what does happen are often 2 different things!

The profile for Sheffield NDB does not break rule 5 at 2500ft around the procedure and you are higher on finals as well.

I know it is a moot point as it is now no longer an official approach. But the kit is still there and maintained and if nothing else gives people a training opportunity. Just the same as Leicester and half a dozen airfields that I have flown "training" procedures into.

I understand that the FISO suggestion is still on going with Kemble as one of the players trying to get approval.
