I've used Aircharts for about 5 yrs now. I fly mostly from Arkansas to
Dallas, Omaha and New Orleans, but fly to enough other places that I want to
have the charts when the need arises. I nearly always file IFR and use the
bound NACO and IFR Atlas. The updates are easy, you don't update unless you
are going to use those charts. I check on line before a trip to make sure
that the plates for the destination and several points in between are up to
date, if not I print new plates and tape it over the old in in the book.
Pretty simple. I really like the Jepp charts but don't like to keep up with
the updates and to cover the whole US is expensive. This year I'm getting
the Sectional Atlases along with the approach plates and IFR Atlas. Thought
that I would try them once to see how much usage they get.

I saw an ad in AOPA for www.airchart.com . Does anyone have any
experience
with these charts? My flight instructor recently got them. For someone
that
does a bit of traveling, it sounds like a great deal. I'm curious how
practical they are (in-flight usage, not able to draw the big 'ol line
across 2 or 3 sectionals, etc).

Thanks.
