three minute interval tick mark.

UPDATE CHART FOR TOWERS AND OBSTRUCTIONS

Generally, the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) produces new editions of TPC

charts only every five years. However, details on a typical H-24B change much more frequently!

To account for this, NIMA produces a Chart Updating Manual (CHUM) that specifies the most

current edition of a given chart as well as any changes or discrepancies on the chart. The CHUM

is published on a semi-annual basis, with supplements produced each month (Figure 2-7).

Therefore, to update a given chart, use both the monthly supplement as well as the semi-annual

CHUM. Additional chart changes may be listed in Flight Information Publications (FLIP) such

as AP-1B, or in NOTAMs.
