Jeppesen charts

I grew up with Jeppy plates and like them, now we have some other jazz that I that is not so good.
Anyway , Jeppesen flew mail routes in the States in the 30s and his fellow aviators saw him updating his personal notes in the bar and they liked it.
So he started compiling info and selling his notes for 10 dollar . The rest is history.

Having watched this thread I think the process is the same. Except Jeppesen knew what he was doing.
It has been pointed out before. Forget about the small idiotic details.The big picture is that there should be APPROVED IFR APPROACHES to these few places in Ireland.
The authorities and companies incompetence killed this crew.
Never mind that they were a mess.

75kts with a tailwind at 200 feet possibly IMC at night for a long distance heading for the coast.
Madness.
