Final Approach
I'm really starting to lean toward getting a flight planning software program and EFB so I can quit fooling with all these paper charts; keeping everything up to date and getting changes while traveling.
I've been using the FAA charts and many times the new updates arrive late (often when I'm on a trip). So, I'm flying with out of date charts on the return flight. The AOPA flight planner can only be used on line and only has low altitude charts.
I often go on long trips in different directions and have to purchase different charts and terminal proceedures for each trip. Then, if I have to divert, I may not have all the terminal proceedures for the new route.
This is all pushing me to the EFB with charts for the U.S.
What are y'all using and how can I cut through all the alternatives? The Jepp site was pretty confusing between all their plans.
Thanks,
Dave
