Terry...

If Chuck recommends it, it's probably a good deal...

Best... Steve

Terry,
 
Give 
Air Charts, www.airchart.com, a 
real close look.  About 1/2 the cost of Jeppesen and very useable, 
convenient format.  The approach plate updates won't drive you crazy 
either.  Recommended.

  Jim,
   
  Thanks for the 
  link.  That looks to be a lot less costly.  I have to do Jepp due to 
  the Garmin 480 card, and decided I would stay w/ that format over the DOD 
  stuff.  My “nav data” flash drive for the Garmin as a subscription for 
  the whole US and runs about $350 a yr.  Then the flight planning program 
  and its online loaded maps and charts is another $1000.  
  
   
  I need some time in 
  the airplane to sort out all these aspects of having my own airplane 
  now.   This learning curve stuff never seems to 
  end!!

Hi, 
  Terry,

I use FliteStar as well (though it pained me to enrich Jeppesen 
  a single additional nickel).  As I recall, I started with a Bonanza and 
  modified a few numbers that I thought fit a little better, but the B will be 
  close.  I FliteStar for flight planning, especially the visual 
  representation of the winds on the flight profile (at the bottom of the map) 
  for picking altitudes but the weathermeister.com is still tops for briefing.

Chuck 
  Jensen

I recently 
  bought FliteStar which is a Jepp software tool that you can
flight plan 
  with.  It has a drop down selection of 50 aircraft but not 
  ours.


Does anybody use this program?  ...and what is a good 
  match for the use
with the Velocity XLRG with a 300 hp Lycoming in 
  it?  
  

Thanks,

Terry
