CRJ_simpilot Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I was watching a pilot on programing the FMC in a Lear 60 and he had a tablet that had plates, etc. Is this available to the general public? I would like to have this for Flight Simulation and VATSIM. Thanks. OOM errors? Read this.

lnuss Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Sure -- Jeppesen sells electronic subscriptions to their charts and approach plates. You can check it out at the Jeppesen web site. Also, the Foreflight app for iPads is available. However, you can also go to the FAA site for TERPS (TERminal Procedures) and download PDFs containing the complete publication (including STARS, takeoff minimums, and much more), just as if you had the paper version of the FAA charts. The SW1 (which includes Denver and Albuquerque) is 690 pages, with the first approach plate on page 115. There are 26 of these, for the complete set. You can also download individual plates from airnav.com. There are a few others, too. Larry N. As Skylab would say: Remember: Aviation is NOT an exact Science!

CRJ_simpilot Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Those are very expensive. I know Flightaware has plates, etc so I guess I'll just download the airports I need. Another question: What is a good PDF App for an android tablet? OOM errors? Read this.

scottb613 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Hi... If you happen to live in North America and have a tablet - FltPlan.com has a full blown FREE tablet app called "FltPlan GO" (apple, android, windows) - it's a real world Electronic Flight Bag that includes your typical moving map software, charts, and plates - with connections to Flight Simulator (FSX/P3D/XP) and is the only source of FREE geo-referenced approach plates/taxi diagrams I'm aware of... Best thing since sliced bread in my book and it's FREE... I use it on every flight and it makes IFR Approaches child's play... https://fltplan.com/ Regards, Scott Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 I'll check that out. Thanks. OOM errors? Read this.

flytv1 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Hi. If you have an Android tablet, you can use Avare, free, see this: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?275480-Android-Moving-Map-app-for-Real-World-and-Sim-Pilots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 I have Avare on my phone and I found it too hard to use and then I need to do loads of downloads. Thanks anyway. I do use Avare's USB SDR App so I can track planes with my phone and a SDR. OOM errors? Read this.
