Unfortunately in Ryanair, Jepp plates, (printing, checking they are all complete/valid) is another one of the many duties lumped in to a pilots 45min preflight. The trip kit for CAG being used on the day, while all the plates were valid, was missing the plates that pertained to the straight in ILS 32.( I checked them the following morning)
I can only guess that when these kits were printed out a month or two earlier, the person in question did not include them in the kit, as they were not going to come in to effect for some time in the future.
For the crew on the day, having a current trip kit(although missing a few pages!) all pointing to the now out of date side step procedure, did nothing to help the situation.
As usual in Ryanair,while the final responsibility rests with the crew to ensure all of the current plates are included in the trip kit, it is a sad state of affairs that one can not rely on these basic things being looked after, because due to cost cutting, it is not possible , as in most other airlines ,to have this taken care of by an OPS person / department.
