So the plates go walkabout after 1. 2. 3. days, or weeks? I get in machines with GPS card out of date but paper maps up to date.
So I fly with paper & GPS go to approach plate GONE, great! Where is the # is Pooleys flight guide, moved the runways have they? magnetic heading changed by 90 deg? I paid for the information where is it? I know it is out of date but could be better than no plate.
Do they say don't use as primary nav source if so why the auto delete.
How does it inform you it is taking unilateral action ?
If I don't understand the info Approach is giving I can ask.
I would say 60% + of data on private GPS I have seen are at least two updates behind
It should be possible to put an overlay saying OUT OF DATE.
Is it only Garmin that do this? our SkyMaps don't They do tell you date of expiry of database on the 1st. screen.
