I'm not able to access the approach charts under the Pilot Center. Are charts being currently updated?

I think they are, as Cycle 1405 was just released.

Until they are updated here and you don't want to utilize another source, when you click on it in the address bar you will see for example:

http://155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1404/00636AD.PDF

change the number highlighted in red to 5 to display the chart for the current cycle

Airnav has their charts linked properly now. As of this morning the charts in acars were still not displaying.

The challenge I'm running into is the XML metadata file that tells me what charts are in the 1405 cycle is not found, I'm getting a 404 on the URL. Anyone know what the new URL is?

Cheers!

Just try to access a chart and replace the second 4 in 1404 to 5.

Not the charts, I've already put a hack into place for that. I meant the metadata. Right now I have no updates.

The update was just completed so you don't need to worry about that (for now). scared
