Has anyone looked up Reno to see how the app displays the complex single engine departure procedure?

Not sure how it will work for you guys, but on our terrible version of Nav Blue, there are no single engine departure procedures. There are text descriptions of ODP’s. All of our single engine stuff (including complex) is text based aerodata.

The enroute charts are useless. If you do end up having to search for a fix, if it doesn’t come up switch to the “low” option.

I looked up RNO, SLC, and GUC. Surprisingly, the EJET plates have visuals/textual for complex specials.

Missing cat I mins - what airport?

The Jepp charts are much more organized and cleaner presentation. But hey..it’s cheaper. The Mesa way!

I found them in a separate page for several airports. Also found a bunch without parking gate information. More examples of the stupidity in these charts. I don’t understand why the fukk they can’t just stay with Jepp.

Which airports for the separate page? Multi page approach plates kind of violate the use of the word “plate”. I’d like to look into these more.

Parking gates can certainly be an issue. I found some things in odd places. Complex single under “radar” for example.

Idiotic. They're saving a few cents but wasting the safety benefits of a system which is second nature to almost all professional pilots in the US.

YES. I compared and it's not bad. You need a plan at Reno and we briefed it in detail before departure.

It was just HARD TO FIND - because it's under a "Radar" button. Strange.

Yep. Instead of doing what’s safe, they’re concerned about $$. I pulled up an approach to Palm Springs. It’s so ddammnnn cluttered I almost couldn’t figure it out. I’m not sure what Mesa is trying to accomplish by going to these.

Well those of us working under the TSH umbrella get to use LIDO charts brought to by Lufthansa Systems. A charting solution so good that Lufthansa the airline doesn't even use it.
