So your charts are the only ones that are right, and the
Arizona state government is wrong?


The charts are what I would use if I had to land somewhere.

Why is the State suddenly more right than the charts? Do you consult the
State before flying, or the charts?

Show me at NACO, MyAirplane, or anyplace where a current A/FD
exists that has L50.


Why is MyAirplane more reliable than an official chart?

If the state owns the airport (which in the US, the city and/or
state's Dept. of Transportation owns and operates the airport)
indicates that the field is closed, I would believe the state over old
charts. See below for why.

Show me at NACO, MyAirplane, or anyplace where a current A/FD
exists that has L50.

Because MyAirplane as well as NACO contain the official A/FDs
for a given airport. They are also on a more updated cycle than
sectionals. A good pilot shall and must ALWAYS have the most recent
charts with them. If they don't, they are asking for being blasted by
controllers. If the latest A/FDs show a field to be closed, then the
sectionals that have the field shown as open are outdated. Therefore,
your charts are outdated, and you are wrong.

Yet another among countless times 'you are wrong' has to be
drilled into your head. Perhaps next time we shouldn't use a statement,
but an actual drill.

Since you will be just simulating the landing, you will be OK.

What's it matter to yuo. The only official chart you need is the one that
gets you to your Fritos.
