- The runway info below the Airport names on the big map, page 3 (e.g. "RWY02/20 23ft")
- The runway info below the Airport names on the small maps (e.g. "RWY02/20 23ft", page 4)
- The figures of approved aerodrome circuit on the small maps (e.g. "02R", page 4)
- The figures of the scales (m and ft) between the small maps (e.g. page 4)
Would it be an awful lot of work to increase the fontsize of those items to a degree that will keep it readable when scaled down to A5?
And, if we're already at it: Could you increase the left margin (and decrease the right margin accordingly) so that the holes, a binding, or a spiral have a little more space?
I hate to ask/propose without to offer, so if I can contribute...

I understand. What is the printing resolution? How much dpi?
I print now in b&w A5 size 600dpi, I can read all of the texts. I admit, it's small, but the 4-5 pt text still readable.
The main problem is the amount of the align, which necessary if I increase the text sizes. Practically all of the drawings. It seems, it would be less work, if i make an A5 master file (heading and the borders), then i rotate the maps, align the top table (attached from excel), and done.
But i will finish the sheets first.
