Default Change

Airnav hasn't discovered this yet. When did the change occur, and is it on the current Gov't charts/Garmin etc databases???????

Default Seth, Where can we find this information?

I've checked all my FAA sites and can't find this change. Airnav still has 5T6 as of July 31st.

A year or so ago 5t6 changed the unicom frequency and I think it was like 2 56 day cycles before it was picked up in the AFD. There should be a local or FDC notam about it. I will call the airport manager to find out. Not that it really matters, the airport hasn't moved

Anybody coming through Midland/Odessa on the way to LOE with an empty seat? I'd love to come out to the flyin, but don't have wings available and the drive is just a bit much. I travel very light and I'm happy to share costs!

Default LOE

FYI,

I just ran a route plan on weathermeister.com and it still shows it to be 5T6. There is no NOTAM as of this minute about the designator being changed, it must not be in the system yet.

I work in an area that is close to the people that control this, so I took a break and went over to talk to them.

They checked in all the databases and it looks like the new id has been reserved and that is all. They could not tell me anything more about if/when any more actions might be taken.

So the bottom line is, don't spend any more time looking for the new id right now. Maybe some day but right now it isn't on any charts or plates etc.
