I just got my weekly dose of AOPA's E-Blurb. In it is an article about
AOPA's latest aid to navigation, a list of all SUAs and their current
status -- within six minutes, anyway.

Being as I am imbedded in SUAs with restricted areas and MOAs all around
KIYK, I took a gander at the two nearest ones, R2505 and R2505. BIG errors
in altitude regimes. 2505 is normally SFC to UNL and 2506 is SFC to 6K.
AOPA has them listed as 2505::6K to UNL and 06 as SFC to UNL. And both are
listed as HOT.

In fairness to AOPA, they are merely mirroring the information produced by
FAA at:
http://sua.faa.gov/atcaalist.jsp

That puts both sites on the incredible ( is UNcredible a word?) list.

Now for a telephone visit to my local friendly 800-WX-BRIEF. R2505 and
2506 are on his list as cold. And guess what, they are. Flex friday is a
down day at China Lake and all ranges are cold.

I guess the point is FAA needs to get on the ball and AOPA needs to quit
piggybacking stuff already available -- expecially when it is flawed.

Go Fly!
