throttle up FR bashing this is not. This new system is pronounced safe so long as pilots take with them sufficient plates to cover a diversion that is not covered in the trip kit. Without the extra plates, pilots have to rely on breaking in to a seal packet called the "brick".
The so-called "brick" allegedly has ALL European airports with a runway 6000ft or longer, plus selected airfields with shorter runways. Well having seen the "brick" I'd question that comment.
How can something the size of a house brick replace 4 A5 Jepps binders? Lets face it, there are a huge amount of airports in Europe with runways 6000ft or longer. So, what plates are missing from the brick? SIDS and STARS maybe ?
Keep the thread going, it's a very interesting subject.
