Can i just clarify, you are being given Navtech plates as opposed to Jepp in the RAF?
Allegedly (and this is ppRuNe!) those making the decisions spurred on by our appetite for risk ownership post-Hadden-Cave asked Jeppesen to sign away their collective lives and sign to say something verging on "We hereby agree that any aircraft that ever crashes with a Jeppesen plate in the flight deck/cockpit did so because of the TAPs". Clearly, Jepp said "Screw that RAF" and we're left with NavTech and all their errors.....at least that's what i heard

The remainder of the Jeppesen service - JetPlans, Regulated Take-off Tables/Graphs etc - is still in place, thankfully.

Bring back Jeppesen TAPs not only are they correct but i can then use their iPad App too

As for VigilantPilot's "That verges on a flight safety risk....", that's the understatement of the century dear chap! Flying with incorrect plates and no backup IFR/IMC? How much of a fall do we want to set ourselves up for?
