It's cheap! The magazine alone is worth the $35 a year. The web services are useful. They need to have as many pilots as possible enrolled when Phil goes to congress.

flyingcheesehead said:Like what? The only things I can think of that are coming down the pipe are 406MHz ELT's and ADS-B, both of which do benefit the pilot.
Even VFR aircraft would be required to equip with expensive avionics to provide information for the "four dimensional trajectory (4DT) management" system, which would require every aircraft to supply a flight plan and continuously update current location and altitude, speed, direction and altitude vectors, and arrival time, even if not participating in the IFR environment. (It's worth restating that 90 percent of GA flights today take place in VFR conditions and require contact with ATC only when in congested, terminal airspace.)

Appreciate your help!

the back ground is black with white printing, very handy!

It never occurred to me the cost of printing the plate, as most everything aviation related, ya gotta pay to play!

jdwatson said:E,
The FAA NACO website doesn't have an Airport Diagram either. I wonder why. Jeppesen still has it. According to them the diagram is current since 04-Nov-2004. Looks like you got your answer despite the thread creep.
When Leslie got home, she was glad she scrubbed too. She hit rain 2 minutes after leaving DKB. There were TSs over 1C5 that afternoon, too.EHITCH said:Yes, I came up empty with the NACO search, which I found curious (as did others), leading me to post my original request. Turns out we had to scrub anyway due to weather. A decision we were grumpily regretting all day (it was 175 miles RT) until on the drive home the sky went from partly cloudy to dark grey in a heartbeat, the heavens opened up and there was lightning all around us. THEN we were glad we had heeded the area forecast!
