I have just updated my i- pad and found the platetab but when I pull it no plates appear. Do I have to download, buy or what do I do to view the plates.

Am I missing something here? Please help with the procedure.

I have a similar issue.

Having planned a flight from EGLK (Balckbushe) to EGHQ (Newquay), SD pulled up the plates for both airports. I wanted to use the "Find Plates" function to download plates for other airports near my route since the weather was not great and if I needed to divert, the other plates would be useful to have available.

However, although using "Find Plates" for EGUB correctly identified Benson, when I tapped on Benson in the find list, the list simply disappeared. I then tried the same for EGTE, got Exeter in the find list, tapped on Exeter and the plates loaded. I tried this for a couple of other locations and it seems that if the airport you are searching for is actually displayed on the background flight planning map, the plates do not appear. If the airport is not shown on the map, the plates do appear!

I also noticed that although I tapped "Find Plates" to get to this point, the dialogue box actually has "Find Waypoint" in the title bar.
