Question from a new flight student (whopping 7 hours!)

I was looking at the AOPA airport info.

ANP and W29 don't list AWOS or ATIS freqs.

That seems pretty critical.

So - where does one download "better" info so you can get local weather

freqs?


I found a cool site, www.myairplane.com, that appears to have just about all
approach plates and for most of the airports in the US, and airport diagrams
for many of them as well. They even have the sectional charts online in a
digital format that lets you zoom in/out and pan around all of the sectional
charts.

According to the RNAV(GPS) Rwy 30 approach plate there is no ATIS/ASOS/AWOS
for ANP. It says to either get it from the CTAF or to use BWI's.

All that being said, the best way to ensure you have the most up to date
info is to order hard copies of sectionals, approach plates, and/or an A/F
directory. Actually even that isn't true - the best way is to call ahead to
a destination airport and ask! I don't think I'd actually use anything that
I downloaded/printed off the web for navigational or informational purposes.
That site is great if I just wanna print off the approach plates for BOS on
my 757 run from PHL (Flight Sim, of course ;-)
