Narrative:
On sep/mon/97, made a medical emergency landing into gve. Gve was the most suitable place for landing. Runway 10 was the active runway and the localizer was OTS. We received vectors for a visual approach and landed normally. Upon arrival in gve (after parking on ramp) we realized that our gve airport charts were out of date. We obtained current copies of the charts from air carrier Y pilot and reviewed all NOTAMS and departed normally for tampa.
