Uh, an approach plate is not "outdated" if it has not changed from its last
print date.
I think you can
legally fly with an outdated approach plate if you have checked to see if the
latest update have not changed anything on the approach you are using in the
old data base.

When it comes
to legal advice, I'm not a good one to listen to, but since no one else
answered your question, Here's what I think: You need to have approach
plates, and the normal Foreflight subscription will get you those. You
do have to download the plates for each state you expect to visit. You
don't legally need a paper backup. The 430W has to have a current
database in order to legally fly GPS approaches. You can fly ILS or
other non-GPS approaches without a current database. That's the way I
understand it and that's what I've been using. You don't actually load
approach plates into the 430W - there is no such
thing.
What actually is required to be IFR
legal?
Do you have to have the
approach plates loaded onto my GNS430W, or just =
simply keep the GNS430W software up to date and keep
using ForeFlight on =
