Hi,

what is the reason that the charts, at least from Germany, are so inaccurate? Two examples:
Ammersee: Why is the bird area as well as the control zone shifted by one or two kilometers to West?



Peissenberg:
In the chart, the Ammer rivers flows through the village Peissenberg. This is definitely wrong! It flows about four kilometers east of Peissenberg.



What is the reason for these inaccurate charts? Is there an improvement to expect. it concerns all available chart styles.
This poor chart quality is not really a help for VFR flights. Is the any improvement to expect?

Gerhard

Hallo Gerhard,

yes, this is a known issue. Personally, I would like better chart accuracy, too. Particularly, since people navigating by VFR rely on such things as a river flowing through a town or a street passing a certain way. Therefore I, too, cast my vote for better chart accuracy where it matters.
