- Publisher labels / edition limits
- IFR entry explicitly displays Effective: 01 OCT 2026; VFR entry displays Effective: 15 OCT 2026. No separate next/archive status reviewed. VFR redirect URL includes 2026OCT20, so retain displayed label rather than infer from URL.

- Source-date scope
- Prior observations retained at their original source dates; not freshly researched for this 193-member expansion.
- Rights and reuse
- Free to read is not a license to republish; link to DFS. Commercial products and republication rights need separate verification.
Unknown is not a claim that access is unavailable, paid or free. Registration and price are separate. A listed edition or a source-check date does not establish operational currentness.
