I quite agree. CAA maps are crap. They never bear any resemblance to the ground I'm flying over.
Well I have never, nor know anyone else who has a problem using CAA
charts of either flavour 250/500
As for them not resembling the ground I believe the topo is from O/S so they are the ones at fault?
but also think of the parallax error between the drawn line on the waxed surface and the actual print on the paper, due to varying wax thickness and offset ocular angle.
WTF is that.....
Yes there is a plethora of aircraft wandering around the sky with pilots trying to get the sextant readings right before the spherical trigonometry calcs and tables checked are done before pos is found.
