I would be careful with terrain depiction in these remote areas, in certain popular UK tablet products. The data will have had very little testing…
It’s funny to observe that, like AF, I started with the US ONC charts too, back in 2003/2004, on trips like this, when no other charts existed. AFAIK Greece still doesn’t publish any charts, so people down there are marking up the 1998 ONC charts.
@Peter I work as a scientist and we have several projects in Greenland.
There are certainly better topographical maps available than the ONC maps of old. (https://nsidc.org/data/ATL03/versions/1)
I created the chart just for planning, and diversion scenarios, where scrounging for key info like the Phone# and PNR details would be a little cumbersome.
Having it all on one chart, along with some detailed VAC charts is all I would need in those scenarios, as most apps have the airport charts built in.
I don’t plan on doing any IFR through Greenland. Having been there I’d just rather spend a few expensive days exploring a local region, which is always rugged and beautiful (and typically pristine outside of towns).
Better a mini-stay vacation than a great epilogue.
On second thought, maybe it’s worth downloading those data (TB and TB) and creating a chart of variable resolution.
High-def for coastal regions and low-def for the ice sheet.
Might be worth doing, and would be a fun project!
This satellite will only continue to fly, and the data will get better and better over time, as coverage increases and algorithms for deriving the single-photon processing improve.
