SA Update?

Well, it's 9/5, and the data expires 9/7, but ChartData Manager doesn't seem to be picking up any updates. Anybody else having this issue? Did SA forget to release the data, or is my DM screwed up again?

I think the weekend/Holiday has delayed it, just like Garmin's FliteCharts and IFR/VFR Charts for my Aera 660 are not available as of this evening either. In fact, Garmin routinely doesn't release their FliteCharts and IFR/VFR Charts until 1 day, sometimes 2 days, before the charts expire.

Thanks. Disappointing support, though...both Garmin and Dynon databases were available on the usual schedule. Call me unsurprised by this from SA.

SA says they're trying to make it available today. I wonder why it isn't automated? They should hire me! I'll auto the pull from the FAA and send my weekly timesheets in from Aruba lol.

As I said, I expect DM to become orphaned sooner rather than later. No data for the next cycle that starts tomorrow, but yet I get (another) email about new releases of FlyQ or whatever else they're selling. I'm with Palmer180...this should be an entirely automated process with minimal human intervention by now.

Exactly my reaction as well.

I just the downloaded the the new SA charts and updated my USB drive, with no difficulty.

For comparison, the IFR/VFR Charts for my Garmin Aera 660 are still not available for download.
