India Four Two,

You forgot the emergency runway next to Tengah AND the additional (new) runway next to Changi which is military and NOT connected to the main airport. The RSAF actually uses the road next to Tengah once a year in a practice. The runway that is part of the East Coast Parkway near Changi has never been used to my knowledge.

I don't have a Jepp area chart at hand so cannot say it the runway is depicted on it. The commercially available ONC chart (VFR) that includes Singapore is grossly out of date (like 1973). My understanding is that updates for these U.S. Government printed charts sometimes are not done at the request of the underlying country (countries). A bit silly when we now have Google Earth (though some of that is not high-res for similar reasons).

So, here is the next "Which Aerodrome". If this isn't identified wihtin an hour, all regular participants have to miss a turn!
