I noticed after looking up 2 popular airports in my region that both are missing all of their instrument approaches. Each airport has 2 Rnav GPS approaches that are not included in fs2020, and one of them is even a waas approach. Is the current navdata already known by MS to be incomplete, and they plan a nav update soon?

I thought I read that the navdat was supposed to be fairly recent and accurate to real world, no?

think its 2009, my home airport have new sid star and waypoint names that started with airac 2009.

i have them in MSFS 

The current AIRAC cycle is 2009, so MSFS is upto date.

2009 stands for 9th of 2020 and was released on Aug 13, so the latest

Incomplete or not present nevertheless it’s sort off in there. Nothing more than a sales trick.
My wild guess is that airac updates will only be possible by a Navigraph subscription and you are going to have to pay for it.

What's the airport?

So far all accurate with procedures (Even with Mattarello [LIDT] in Trento ) using the VOR 18 procedure, and with simlink to track on the Navigraph chart with latest AIRAC.

I think  Navdata  is very old,because  Beijing Daxing International Airport（ZBAD）is not contain in Navdata

That's an issue with outdated Bing imagery, not with Navdata.

Quote:If the NavData is a decade old, then MSFS better allow 3rd party providers, i.e., Navigraph, to provide updates

 

Don't fret people. Navigraph will follow,

Navblue provides the database via their Navigation+ service, soon the Charts+ service will also be implemented.

KMTP (is missing RNAV RWY 06, RNAV RWY 24, VOR RWY 06)

KBID (is missing RNAV RWY 10, RNAV RWY 28, VOR/DME RWY 10, VOR RWY 28)

https://www.airnav.com/airport/KBID

These are 2 very hot destinations in my area for recreational pilots and vacationers.

i know there are many other airports that will be missing either all or some of their current approaches...but I can tell you that if these airports are missing ALL of their approaches then there's either a bug in the navdata, or the navdata is very very old, as these RNAVS have been active for quite some years already.

I will simply switch to Navigraph when it becomes available. As it is I use Navigraph and Simbrief now for flight planning. Naviblue is incomplete and not as thorough.

I use FltPlanGo and there's definitely data missing or outdated, there is no doubt about it. Some airports don't even register any Freq's or procedures. I have a feeling that Nav/Charts+ will come at a price though.

Yeah going to use Navigraph 100%, It's a must have if online flying, Vatsim or pilotsedge, imo
