Missing approach in Garmin 530 database

Deleting an approach is a real governmental red-tape exercise, so some
approaches that are no longer in use show up in chart subscriptions for
years....because it takes just as much time, effort, and money to
re-establish an approach. IOW, they can't just turn them on and off at a
whim.

Thanks for the info. I admit I didnt pay too close attention to the NOTAMS
since the weather was VFR and forecast to remain that way during our stay.
I only tried to punch it in the 530 when the controller asked me which
approach I wanted to do, even though it was 3800 broken on the ASOS.

I wonder why the FAA paper chart was still issued (it's still early in the
cycle to get a change notice)- it may be that the Garmin database is
actually more up to date than the FAA printed materials.

Anyway, thanks again.
