MOUNTAIN PEAK ALT LEFT OFF OF NOS APCH CHART FOR SDM ON AMDT 3. PRESENT ON 2 OMITTED ON 3.

Narrative

NOAA/NOS UNITED STATES TERMINAL PROCS SW2; SAN DIEGO BROWN FIELD (SDM) VOR-A AMDT 3 OMITS 3566 FT MSL MOUNTAIN; 7 MI E OF 524 FT MSL ARPT. THIS IS TERRAIN THAT A CORPORATE JET HIT IN MAR/91 WITH ALL FATAL. AMDT 3 CHARTS LOWER MOUNTAINS WITHIN 10 MI REF CIRCLE (AND EVEN BEYOND CIRCLE AND S OF MEXICAN BORDER!). AMDT 2 DID INCLUDE THIS 3566 FT MOUNTAIN AND COMMERCIAL APCH PLATE CURRENTLY INCLUDES THIS OBSTACLE AND MARKS IT AS HIGHEST IN IMMEDIATE AREA. AS DIRECTED ON INSIDE COVER OF TERMINAL PROCS BOOK; NOS (N/CG31) WAS CALLED 3 TIMES BTWN DEC/92 AND MAR/93 REGARDING PROB. TELEPHONE 800/626-3677 IS A RECORDING ON WHICH I LEFT MY NAME AND TELEPHONE NUMBER BUT NOT SPECIFICS OF PROB. NONE OF THESE CALLS WERE RETURNED. SUBSEQUENT ISSUES OF SW2 CONTINUE WITH OMISSION! CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: RPTR STATES THAT WHAT BOTHERS HIM MOST IS THAT HE USED THE PROPER LISTED NUMBER TO CONTACT NOAA 3 TIMES. HE GOT A RECORDING AND NO RESPONSE TO HIS CALLS. FINALLY WHEN REFERRED TO A WEST COAST FACILITY REGARDING A MISSING INTXN ON A NOAA CHART HE BROUGHT UP THE PROB OF THE MISSING MOUNTAIN ELEVATION. RPTR FEELS THERE OUGHT TO BE A BETTER SYS WHERE ONE CAN GET A RESPONSE TO ONE'S COMPLAINTS. THIS RPT WAS USED IN TELECON AND FAA INDICATED THERE ARE EVOLVING CHANGES IN WHAT ELEVATIONS WILL BE SHOWN ON CHARTS WITH AN EYE TO REDUCTION TO CHART CLUTTER. COMMERCIAL CHART COMPANY ALSO CONTACTED; WITH ADDED INFO THAT A MEETING WILL TAKE PLACE IN AUGUST TO SET UP SPECS FOR FUTURE CHARTS. COMMENT ALSO MADE THAT AREA CHART HAS MANY MORE ELEVATIONS THAN THE APCH CHART.
