It came to my attention that the ROM (VOR) and KC80 airports have very little data on the Los Angeles sectional chart. The aviation data exist on the San Francisco sectional, but the way SkyCharts ‘stitch’ the charts, LA now wins.

I then tried the opposite, and ROM looks better, but then Porterville loose information.

Please comment on which way you prefer.

Of course, the best solution would be for FAA to add the data on the LA chart as well, please email them at 9-AMC-Aerochart@faa.gov

This is what the charts look like now:

And this is what having San Francisco ‘win’ looks like:

As usual FAA/Aeronav didn’t test all contents. One file has still not been updated, if you use the STEWY ONE (RNAV) at KACK please wait to update until the file has been updated (who knows how long this will take though). For now you get the 1201 version, not the 1202.

For future chart releases, check the dates here.

The release now contains the AREA chart for Washington. It was previously missing. If you notice a chart missing that you think should be there please let me know.

Download payloads now also have more average size. In previous cycles the last file could be a lot larger. Having a more even size should help especially on DSL or 3G/Edge networks.

Please also check the important post about Alaska charts here.

Update (2/12/12): All files have now been updated. If you need the updated version of 00659STEWY.PDF, please un-select, then re-select the US_NE region and let the app download it again.
