Why do it if it's not fun?

Ok, I've calmed down a bit now.

I should point out that I had a particularly bad day at work yesterday, and that my rant was completely out of proportion compared to the size of the problem. But I've had a much less stressful morning, and I've just been out for a walk in the park in glorious sun-shine - and now I'm feeling better!

Of course, having the chart only for 0 degrees of flap is probably not that bad. Better than having it only for 25 degrees, then some idiot doesn't realise that it says 25 degrees, tries to take off from a short field with no flaps, and wonders why he doesn't make it. But I still can't see why the CAA couldn't produce charts for both cases, or even just let us use the perfectly good Piper charts that come with the POH.
