Apparently the change was at one time included in the FDC NOTAMS. Presumably it was not at the time of the accident as the correction hd been made to the FAA charts and FDC NOTAMS are deleted once the change has been published on the charts.

Regardless, they were in fact on an authorized procedure. The fact that their charts may have indicated otherwise in error is completely irrelevant to the accident itself.

regarding quoting a post. As far as I nobody has the option to automatically quote a previous post, you have to type it in yourself. In your reply to window, click on the little yellow dialog symbol just at the top of the box. This inserts (quote) (/quote) except that it's they're enclosed in square brackets, not parentheses. In between these type or cut and paste the text you want to quote. When done correctly, it will show as shaded, quoted text when in your post.
