VFR Charts Required

[amorris311]

if he knew and planned accordingly with a current chart i do. even though it is not a regulation common sense would and should make one review a flight before they take off.

So you think we should have to (read: be legally required to) take our sectional and A/FD and go through and double check all of the updates every time a new A/FD comes out?

I'd never fly VFR again....ever...anywhere. Nor would most other pilots. Legally.

When I fly IFR, I put the CD in, click 2-3 buttons and let the charts update themselves.

...and it's cutting corners now to *not* comply with a regulation that doesn't exist?

Who has been suggesting cutting corners? I didn't notice.

If true, I'm not so sure about the legally part. I understand that slightly less than half of the pilot population is instrument rated and only a small percentage of instrument pilots maintain currency. So if, most pilots would never fly VFR...
