I for myself consider charts as valid as long as they haven't exceeded a "valid until date" printed on them or until a new version of the chart has been released. YMMV Eric

Not obscure at all - here you are: ‌AMC1 NCO.GEN.135(a)(10) Documents, manuals and information to be carried c) The aeronautical data should be appropriate for the current aeronautical information regulation and control (AIRAC) cycle.‌ ‌ ‌No distinction made between IFR and VFR ‌‌‌- Charts need to be current for the latest AIRAC cycle, as far as aeronautical data is concernend. ‌Tobias‌ Edited 12/30/2016 9:43:51 AM by tschnell

Highly interesting, what do all the pilots flying VFR on paper charts only, they are now all illegal? If they haven't added all the corrections from the latest AIRAC cycle manually to their paper chart, then yes, they are technically illegal - and always have been. Just because it is common to break the law doesn't mean that it is correct. One of the huge benefits I see in SkyDemon is that I can easily print out a chart for my flight which is updated in line with the AIRAC cycle.

Most CAA's make an effort to make major airspace changes coincide with the issue date of "their" paper chart. At least Germany does (did?) it that way.
