Alphacenaturi, care to explain further as to how I'm mistaken? I'm genuinely curious.

I was under the impression that an Instrument Approach design requires the area to be well surveyed for it and that any drift in the coordinates would be extremely minimal from year to year which is why they don't need a new survey conducted? And if the coordinates are off for a VFR flight by a couple of hundred metres then what's the major issue there?

Can anyone tell me if Part 175 is something new as well? Or has someone spied their eye over it and decided that even though nothing has changed and they could continue status quo that doing so would leave them open in legal sense and required this fairly drastic move?

I also think alpha that most us aren't necessarily against them trying to get the data current and checked, most of us are aghast at how so many that shouldn't be an issue suddenly are, I don't see how removing so many Hospitals Landing Sites for instance is of any use to anyone?
