Keith Page Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I am wondering how many people on this forum have discovered that the rail line from Blackwater to Rolleston is not shown on the WAC charts. This line has been there for about 5 years I will stand to be corrected on the time I know it is enough time for information to be handed about and be represented on a map.

Keith Page Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Have you checked the manuscript amendments in AIP? Yes.. One needs a land mark to find their way home.. And we get it rammed down our necks we must use situational awareness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering if the WAC is not up to date who's but is in trouble. The umbrella the map issue is under is "SAFETY" as the legislators tell us. Regards Keith Page.

Keith Page Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 I have emailed and phoned the authorities regarding the omission you all guessed it not one has replied. Note the section in the ERSA regarding errors well that is good as useless as no one responds. Only reply received, was the automated email response, all that correspondence was about three years ago. I think that is oodles of time. Regards Keith Page.

Good point about about having the latest WAC that is more out of date than the previous 5 or so editions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing happens when we are fed the incorrect information which we must decipher. Regards Keith Page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
