I say carry, as I suspect they are not used for nav most of the time.
I say over 50's as that's when long sightedness kicks in.
I use the 1:500,000, with my route marked just in case both of my 2 skydemon appliances run out of juice, and the 12v charger stops working, and the nav aids stop working, on the <4 hour flight (is my sarcasm coming through ok?), but have noticed that ground features are generally so indistinct, and these days the text is virtually ineligible that I am thinking if I were to carry a chart with a view to actually using it, I would need 1:250,000s.
So, for those over 50 and who do use paper charts, what size do you use?
As an aside, maybe the CAA could look at the rules again and maybe allow 2 independent, of each other and the aircraft systems, electronic charts, to be legal?
