Our company still uses paper charts. Due to our limited network, 3 manuals of charts each cover all destinations, alternates and plenty of enroute airports. These are left onboard, together with a back up library of the region (3 other manuals).
When new charts are issued, manuals are updated by the office simply by placing the new charts, effective in a few days time, behind the current charts. It is then left up to the pilot to notice that there are 2 charts for the STAR or approach plate required. I find this practice quite unsafe, as it could easily be missed.
I am interested to know how other operators deal with updating their manuals. Thanks
