Where to find legacy approach charts?

[sarangan]

Anyone know if there is an archive of expired or decomissioned approach charts? Some of the approaches I have in my logbook are no longer available, and I was curious what they looked like back then.

If you find such a site please let all of us know.

How far back are you trying to look ?

What states were the approaches flown ?

I have seen old data in some simulators...not sure they print out.

Not sure how far back you want, but the wayback project lets you pull up old versions of any website. Go to https://web.archive.org/ and plunk in the TPP page url https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/productcatalog/ifrcharts/TerminalProcedures/

Looks like the have plates back to 2011. Probably have it back further, but I suspect the FAA moved the url around. You’d need to hunt around for the old url.

Do they archive the files though? I know that old episodes of our podcast did NOT get archived.

I also went there and I don't see a link for actually downloading plates anywhere, even on the current version? (Also looked at the oldest archived one.)
