I pose the question again: if Jepps and the FFA approach plate are not the same on a bit of detail, to which one would you default? You are the captain on a given mission, or you are the FO preparing for a flight and you note a discrepancy in the approach info ... what do you do?
Willow: in this case, while "liability" may be an interesting question as you rephrase it, if the crew were using Jeppson and took the NA at night on Jeppson for guidance (even if it is an error) then they'd not have shot that approach at night. They'd have flown another approach to that airport.
For an error to have the kind of liability a lawyer might make a civil case over, I suspect it would need to be in the other direction: mark something as "OK" when it's not. In this case, the error would have the crew try a different approach, even though the FAA chart allows it with VGSI working.
(PS: aterpster once again shows up with facts and some expertise on this topic. Many thanks, sir!
