Re: Charts

[Syd Cohen]

Hi, Doug, Several CFI friends of mine told our EAA chapter that outdated charts are illegal in an aircraft unless "FOR INSTRUCTIONAL PURPOSES ONLY" is written on them.  They also said it is not required to have any charts in the airplane.  So my information is the same as yours.
