I'm not sure if American also uses ForeFlight in conjunction with Jepp, just for cases like this.
The procedure is to tell the iPad not to automatically update the date/time, set the date back a week (this has the app display the old version of the DCA charts since it now thinks it's before the effective date of the new ones), launch JeppTC Pro and remove KDCA from favorites, put the date/time update back on automatic, and then remember to not look at any DCA plates.
Like others have mentioned, I'm pretty sure that solution would not have been thought of by most people on a flight deck, even by savvy users. And you still have the problem of getting the crew new DCA plates.
Oh well - **** happens.
And no ForeFlight either. Is it even approved for 121 use anywhere?
