I currently subscribe to the Airchart IFR and sectional service. I was
looking at changing to the WAC and IFR service.


I also use the Aircharts service, and switched from WACs to the sectional
service this past year. I fly in some fairly cluttered areas, and even
with the class B/C sectional extracts the WAC atlas was just not cutting
it, detail-wise, for my VFR flying; fewer frequencies, and no identifiers
or pattern info. For high-altitude IFR flying it was fine, but in that
case it's really only a situational awareness aid.

Since you're a current subscriber, you can probably get a sectional atlas
from them either for the asking or at minimal cost.

Did anyone ever get use from the now-discontinued Sky Prints atlas? I
never really saw the point. (If I could get a bound atlas with sectional
charts for 300nm from either coast and WACs for everything else, I'd be a
happy camper.)
