Looking for the Olympic 1:500k airspace chart
.... but not the standard 1:500k southern chart, which does show the olympic TRA.
The one I am after I briefly saw the other day. It was just plain paper, not laminated, and it showed the olympic airspace with the D138 zone crossing route shown on it; this is the bit whereby you can transit to the east of the TRA just by speaking to Southend. That crossing path narrows down to about 0.5nm width at the north end.
I wonder if anybody sells this, or maybe it is free?
I want to scan it so I can run it as a GPS moving map.

Here you go, Peter.

That's fast work, prop swinger 
I never worked out how to scan to make a QCT.
And yes it would do nicely.
But that is just the A4 page from the CAA handout, I think. The thing I was looking for was about 2ft x 2ft and showed what yours shows, plus about 2ft x 2ft of the southern chart.

I bought a couple of the new southern charts the other day, and the 2ft non laminated map you refer to comes as a supplement. I have a spare one, which I would happily send you, but I presume you will get one of the new charts, of if your local supplier didnt give you the supplement - I presume you will be back there asking for it :-)

I cant open that on airnav pro, is that an airnav pro file or did it just default the image to an airnav pro because i have it installed on my iphone?

It's a Memory Map chart file, basically a calibrated image of p42 of the Olympic AIC supplement. You might be able to do the same in the Air Nav Pro format if you know what type of image & calibration file to use.
The paper chart supplement was supposed to be available as an A3 sized pdf file.

Peter,
I think you will find you are exempt from R112 rules and regulations anywhere in that vfr shaded corridor as long as you are in it with Southend ATC permission so you do not have to squeeze through a tiny area at the northern end, you have a wider lane.
If you are avoiding R112 rules and regulations then what you must not do is leave the corridor shaded area unless you leave it into the airspace outside R112 (and d138)

Interesting; thanks
It doesn't actually say that though, or does it?
In reality I would probably just file Eurocontrol IFR for FL140 and then none of this stuff matters provided one is talking to London Control before and after going near the TRA.

This is slightly off topic, but does anyone know of a store in central London where I can purchase a copy of the latest edition of the Southern England & Wales 1:500k chart (including the Olympic supplement)?

The Southend GA Olympic Corridor isn't shown on the freebe Olympic 500k chart, I notice.
I thus wonder where the hell that chart I saw came from.
Maybe the A3 version is the best option.

Can anyone understand the abbreviations on the olympic chart. Even with the AIP open and in your hand it aint easy to understand.
Just wondering how we are supposed to fly with the chart and the AIP and aviate, navigate and communicate!
Can see some trouble ahead!
