Hi Tim,

i updated the charts last week, and there seems to be some changes specific to France.

All the microlight fields which were previously categorised as such, ie "XXX microlight site" and were displayed with an 'M' in a circle, have now been replaced with the standard "XXX airfield".

Unfortunately, the vast majority of microlight strips in France are private, and non-based aircraft are generally not welcome. It is not possible to distinguish between the 2 types now. This change only seems to apply to France; in Italy and Spain there are still the 2 different types displayed.

Second point; it seems that all the airfields previously categorised as "glider site" have disappeared.

Can this be resolved with another chart update ?

cheers,

Andy.

Hi Tim
I just update SD charts and I have a doubt about VRP name in the SE of France .
About zone Le Luc vrp W trets castel is now PL .
Regards
Jean

Correct, W is now called PL ( Puyloubier ).

Another remark about reporting points is that there are some standard compulsory reporting points when flying the VFR routes from France mainland to Corsica island, eg LERMA, OMARD, MERLU, LONSU.

In SD, however, these are only visible when the 'show airways reporting points' is enabled, even though they appear on any French VFR navigation chart.

cheers,

Andy.
