Narrative:

Sfo taxi out instructions were taxiway a, taxiway F, taxiway B, runway 1L. Taxied out taxiway a, taxiway F1, taxiway B, runway 1L. As entered taxiway F1, ground said we were now on taxiway F1 which was old taxiway F. No conflict. Reviewed 10-9, 10-8, and NOTAMS again. No mention of new taxiway F1. 10-8,9 pages still show as taxiway F. Returned to sfo later in day and taxiway signs are correct for taxiway F and new taxiway F1 (old taxiway F). Pubs are not accurate. Last posted jul/xb/02 revision 1515. Followed habit pattern of taxiway F and charted location, did not follow new signs. Recommend new 10-8, 10-9 pages be issued next revision and immediate NOTAM noting change from old taxiway F to new taxiway F1. Callback conversation with an sfo airfield operations supervisor revealed the following information: on jul/xa/02 at XA00 local, the following changes to the sfo taxiway system were to take effect: 1) existing taxiway F between txwys B and left was redesignated as taxiway F1. (This taxiway is and will remain closed until signage is installed.) 2) new taxiway F originates at taxiway B between txwys J and taxiway F1, then intersects both runways 1L&right, terminating at the runway 28L threshold. 3) txwys a and B between txwys D and G have been widened and realigned to the northeast. It was also noted that the provider of the commercial airport diagram chart has been advised of the taxiway changes.
