The current AIP was published on the 11th July and contains this change. in my Charts config, the United Kingdom entry shows "valid from 11 Jul 2024", so I assume I have the latest update.

It’s not just DTY. Many of the former VOR/DME are now just DME but still shown as such.

This is really a deficiency in the data we get from Eurocontrol on navaids, which doesn't distinguish a VOR that's intended for enroute use from one intended for terminal use. If the VOR is ever actually switched off, we will remove it.

I can find no mention of DTY in any of the terminal approach procedures for the airfields surrounding the beacon. Most of them reference HON.

There's a Daventry SID for southbounds from East Midlands.

Yeah, I saw that last night as I was planning for a lesson today. I hadn't seen such a note before. All of the other ones I've looked at also diagrammed references to VOR radials when used in a procedure. Every day's a school day.
