What constitutes 'up to date'?

The Jepp database is updated on a 30 day cycle. Is a database 31 days old (previous cycle) out of date if used for VFR flying, when the AIP has not notified any airspace changes?

The Jepp database does not incude TRAs, so you still need to use other data from the relevant NOTAMs.

Most UK VFR pilots I know update annually, on the next cycle after the half-mill map change, and use NOTAMs and preflight planning to remain legal.
