Two mistakes - one in this message - I said Approach Plates are new - they are actually unchanged - sorry. Second, I put "2006" in the description in the Library but it should read 2007 (this will show up in your emails) - that has been corrected.
Another update will be coming in a few months, where Scott and I hope to have more time to do more, but this should be a start...
