EMB135 PLT IS CONCERNED WITH THE COMMERCIAL CHART FOR TPA.

Narrative

ADDITIONAL PAPER WAS INSERTED INTO THE RELEASE. IT WAS A COPY OF A GOV CHART FOR TPA. ON THIS CHART; IT INDICATED THAT THE CURRENT COMMERCIAL CHART FOR TPA WAS INCORRECT. THIS GOV CHART INDICATED BY A CAUTION NOTE ON THE BOTTOM TO INFORM PLTS THAT THE TXWY SIGNAGE CHANGES THE COMMERCIAL CHART WERE NOT YET CHANGED ON THE ARPT SURFACE AREA MAKING THE COMMERCIAL CHART INACCURATE AS TO ARPT TXWY SIGNAGE. THE GOV CHART RECEIVED HAD AN EFFECTIVE TIMEFRAME AS TO THE EFFECTIVE CHANGE OF WHEN THE ARPT SIGNAGE ON THE SURFACE AREA WAS TO BE COMPLETED. IF TPA OPS DID NOT TAKE THE TIME TO MAKE PHOTO COPIES OF THIS PAGE AND INSERT IT INTO RELEASES; THIS INFO WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DISSEMINATED. THE SIGNAGE THAT HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED ARE A TXWY ON THE E SIDE OF THE ARPT AND CERTAIN TXWY INTXNS. EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE LEGAL WITH THE CURRENT COMMERCIAL UPDATES; YOU MAY NOT HAVE ALL THE CORRECT INFO TO TAXI ON THE SURFACE AREA AT TPA. I FEEL THE CHART MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE NOTIFIED; OR A COPY OF THIS GOV CHART SHOULD BE ATTAINED FROM TPA OPS OR THE TPA COMMERCIAL CHARTS THEMSELVES AND DISTRIBUTE IT VIA AN OPS MEMO FOR THOSE PLTS HAVE NOT BEEN TO TPA. THE PROB AND SAFETY ISSUE COULD ARISE WHEN VISIBILITY IS REDUCED AND THE TAXI INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN CAN BE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE ON THE COMMERCIAL PAGE ITSELF.
