Airnav does it too....but I like this site better. All in one. Very nice.
I was unaware Airnav has IAPs that can be downloaded in bulk by region
My favorite is still the one Joe Areeda was working on at one time because it allowed more filters. For example, if you don't have an approach-certified GPS, not much reason to download the GPS approaches.
I really haven't seen anything else out there that does this.

Based on the usage log, a few people may have missed that this site is back on line and automatically updated. My friends here are more than welcome to it.
My big problem is that all we really have to go on is the approach name. I wish we could see "xxx required" in the plan view.
I have not given up on development and still have some good ideas from the original todo list. I'm trying to get the "all approaches within xxx miles of this route" feature to work.
I don't push it, it is free and I pay for it.

You are not an AOPA member currently?Airnav does it too....but I like this site better. All in one. Very nice.
I've been using a free tool called Aviator Trip Pack for several years. It lets you predefine any number of packs that contain whatever plates, stars, sids, minimums, AF/D pages or AOPA airport pages that you like. It will even log you on and include a current DUAT briefing in the pack. It then downloads everything you've specified and maintains current copies for you.For example, if you don't have an approach-certified GPS, not much reason to download the GPS approaches.

Interesting. If you google "aviator trip pack" you are referred to a site with all sorts of warnings about malicious software.I've been using a free tool called Aviator Trip Pack for several years.
Yes. That's why I didn't mention the site. Greg's server got hacked a while back and he is tearing his hair out trying to get the various watchdog sites to restore his clean bill of health. PITA. Also, the new version isn't up yet. He's working on the documentation.If you google "aviator trip pack" you are referred to a site with all sorts of warnings about malicious software.

pdfplates not compatible with kindle 2
on amazon it does say something about converting the pdfs
not sure if I have time/inclination to mess w it.
May I ask a question ?
Given the free NACO plates are so good, why do any US private pilots use Jeppesen plates? (maybe none do; I don't know)
I can see why commercial pilots might use them; for uniformity of data presentation while flying around the world.

Yes.IS there is an easy way to print the PDF plates 2 per page in a kneeboard size / format?
I use Fineprint (http://www.fineprint.com/products/fineprint/index.html). It is a great little utility that I use for all of my printing. For plates, I have it set up to give me an 8.5 x 5.5" booklet that is page numbered and date stamped on each page with the printing date.IS there is an easy way to print the PDF plates 2 per page in a kneeboard size / format?
