As far as I know, there are no "third party" paper publications that list
all
the stuff that's in the A/FD, specifically navaid service volumes and the
like.

So? What's that got to do with legalities? One could simply use the Palm
guide along with other third-party products that fill in the blanks.

That's certainly true for the AOPA Directory and Flight Guide. For
instrument pilots, checking that data is necessary to meet the "all
available
information" requirement in the FARs.

Even if you have an A/FD there is no way to meet the "all available
information" requirement. It's a bogus regulation, inserted so that when
you DO miss some information (and you will), the FAA always has the option
to string you up if you screw up.

[...] Obviously
the AOPA electronic directory doesn't hack it.

You haven't even finished defining "legal" and you want to start up with a
whole new undefined term? What's the official definition of "hack it"? And
more importantly (since that's where we started), how is the AOPA directory
not "legal"?
