Many of the charts in the DVA chart database are out of date, like the ERLIN EIGHT for KATL which is supposed to be the ERLIN NINE.
Are these charts updated often? I love typing .charts (ICAO code) into ACARS when flying to get instant charts but not if they're not correct.

Agreed, I've noticed the same thing. I use Foreflight since I'm a RW pilot and just pull them off there, but that is not an option for everyone. I believe they are also available on the FAA website if you google the particular SID/STAR.

I believe the staff does try to update them, however with the sheer amount of charts they have to go through and upload, it takes awhile to get to them all.

Just make a remark in your FP that you have an older chart. ATC will work with you.

Thanks for the replies!
I use an alternate website for charts - www.aircharts.org so I'm good on charts, it was just more convenient to type in .charts and the ICAO code.

If you have an iOS device, look for FS Kneeboard. It has complete charts for all US aiports, plus VFR sectionals and weather.

Sadly I only have an Android smart phone.
My girlfriend will get an iPad before I ever do.

Airnav.com is another choice. I believe it only has charts for U.S. airports though.
