The new CAA printed chart has gone the same way. I see the new CAA chart at least has a different shade of shading - maybe a possible consideration (although it should have been lighter not darker)? CAA again seeming to put strict interpretation of 'correctness' above clear and easily used practicality.. we shouldn't be surprised I guess! It's like they are trying to keep their infringement department in business!
