Well, I finally received a letter from the FAA about their digital product changes, some of the wording is a bit interesting. The preamble is inviting people to a meeting in December about the changes, this is what they say the background for the change is.
So, basically, they want money. The interesting bit is the part about distribution to individuals without an agreement, you have to wonder if this includes things like the A/FD and TPP they provide on their website for anyone to look at.FAA's Aeronautical Navigation (AeroNav) Products has reengineered its business processes. One of the changes that we have identified is the need to have clear agreements with Authorized Agents on the distribution and packaging of our digital products. As safety is the key mission of the FAA, it is imperative that the integrity of our navigation products is maintained in digital forms just as it is in paper forms. April 5, 2012 will be the last edition of our products that will be distributed to individuals or businesses without an agreement. This forum is an opportunity to exchange ideas with interested entities and gain feedback on these agreements.
