I went out and shot my 6 and 1 (6 and 3 actually) at KBIV and KHLM on Monday. We went out and did the ILS to 26 and the RNAV (GPS) to 26. I then go to dial in the RNAV (GPS) to 8. It's not in the Jepp database for my 430! So I call Jeppesen today, asking why that is. They say it's been NOTAMed N/A.
I have the new FAA approach chart for GPS 8 that is valid from March 16 until April 13, or so. Nothing on the chart says I can't use it. Nothing in the A/FD says I can't use it. I even called FSS and asked for all NOTAMS at BIV and HLM that day, and they said nothing about the GPS 8 approach being unavailable. I got D notams and L notams, and FDC notams. No mention of GPS 8 being unavailable.
Ok, so after the GPS 8 we ask for the NDB (GPS) at HLM from Muskegon Approach. "We are not authorized to issue that." WHAT?!?!? Again, I have an approach chart that says nothing about it being unavailable. I have the A/FD that says nothing about it being unavailable, and FSS never said it was NOTAMed out.
So how the *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleepedy* *bleeping* *bleep**bleep**bleep* am I supposed to know this??
