Default Good Place To Get Jeppesen Enroute Charts?

If you fly general aviation IFR enough you will find out that things don't
always work as planed and you have to deviate or reroute due to some
unforeseen circumstance like (Weather, Aircraft Performance, Technical Issue
Like Navaid Outage) you better have printed a lot of strip charts or have
the paper chart available for a reroute.


While I may not be a ferry pilot, I do use my aircraft to commute weekly in
the Northeast US, plus fly few charity flights a month and occasionally
family flights, too. Been doing this just about every week since February
2005. Therefore I can say with confidence that I fly IFR often enough,
assuming you count two to three times a week often.

In the case of my response to you, I thought you were looking for a one
time chart print, hence my suggestion about Jepp's FlightStar. I was not
suggesting that FlightStar go along in the cockpit with you on every flight
as a substitute for charts. I whole-heartedly agree that paper charts are
still needed, specifically for the possibility of an unplanned diversion.
