All,
The updaters know there are particular areas needing more work than others and there are corrections required. The updating is an ongoing process and this work continues, it doesnt stop here. Model standardisation work for example is ongoing with biz jets, Canadairs, Bombardiers, Embraers, Pipers all having been completed.
To qualify Alan’s previous post regarding standardization.
All Piper aircraft have not yet been standardized. The following types have been done: P46T, PA38, PA46, PA31, PAY1, PAY2, PAY4, P28A, P28B, P28R, P28T, and PA32, P32R, P32T were in progress at the time of issue. There are still a number of types to be done such as the PA60.
It’s a similar case with Embraer. The following types have been done: E120, E135, E145. The E110 has not yet been standardized.
Without listing them all, types such as SW2, SW3, SW4, DH8A, DH8B, DH8C, DH8D, and a large part of all business jets have all been standardized.
We don’t just standardize each type. C/n duplicates are checked and deleted where necessary, c/n’s against registrations were checked for a number of bizjet types etc etc.. in order to give you all, a near as possible, accurate database.
However, errors can arise, so if anyone notices an error, no matter how small it is (spelling mistake, lowercase instead of uppercase etc..) please tell us.
Hopefully in the next NavData release all Pipers and Embraers will be standardized.
