Hello All,

Current US airspace information for the charting cycle effective June 27, 2013 is available on my website at http://www.soaringdata.info and on the Airspace section of the Worldwide Soaring Turnpoint Exchange. I posted the updated information to the site back in June, but I realized today that I neglected to make an announcement.

Updated US airport data in formats that support virtually all glide computers and loggers as well as many recreation-style GPS devices may also be found by following the link under the Airport Information tab on my website.

I have also posted the current series of updated sectional charts in CMR format for SeeYou. The same series of charts is available in Geo-Referenced TIFF format, which can be used in mapping software such as Global Mapper.

Airspace definitions for Temporary Flight Restrictions in OpenAir and Tim Newport-Peace formats are available by selecting the TFRs tab. This can be useful as we find ourselves in the middle of the fire season.

There have been a few minor changes to make things a bit easier. I noticed, for example, a few people having problems when using ClearNav turnpoint files without the ".stx" file name extension. A fix has been made to automatically recognize that format. If anyone has difficulties of any kind, they can feel free to contact me using the web master link on my site.

As always, this material is completely free and freely reproducible.

Happy Downloading!
