Instrument rated?

Are you instrument rated?

.. Are you tired of paying for instrument procedures you don't use?
.. Would you like to develop your own custom library of procedures?
.. Would you like to update your library automatically and unattended?
.. Would you like hands free Duat access for weather and filing flight plans?
.. Also Pocket PC support and laptop/tablet sync?
.. Would you like METAR/TAF weather by pointing with your mouse?
.. And an EFB?

I'll second Al's PIREP, at least as far as the plate packs are concerned. I
have paid for Seattle Avionics' Smart Plates and had been using it but have
switched to Greg's package. For one thing, the printed charts are clearer.
Also, Smart Plates is huge and slow. ATP is small and fast.

If you supplement ATP with FinePrint (www.fineprint.com) you can easily print
booklets of plates, two sided. I have one called "metro practice approaches"
that I just print a fresh copy every once in a while.

(FinePrint is a pretty handy gadget for other things, too, like printing
avionics reference manuals in approach plate sized booklets. Take the output to
OfficeBizMaxMart and get it coil bound for three bucks and you have an easily
portable manual. There is a free demo download.)

I have no relation to Greg either but have been helping with the testing of the
app and have seen as it has developed.

YMMV

I have to admit that Greg's program is one of the better ones I've ever
found. My hat's off to someone with the smarts to create this.

Greg,

It looks like your program will solve my approach plate subscription problem
nicely. I have two questions, however. 1) Is the NACO DVD the same one that
Sportys sells, and 2) do you plan to provide Low Alt. Enroute charts in the
future?

Thanks for the lead to Fine Print. Very nice! I'll print my destination
plates larger but use the 2 front and 2 back for the airports along the way
that I hopefully will not be using ; ^ ). Don

You're welcome. FWIW, I buy the Air Chart Systems plates (you get one set of
plates a year with monthly update sheet) and carry those as backup for an
off-plan airport. Then I don't have to guess ...

I buy a single region (5 books of plates) for $70/year. Since the update sheet
is for the entire country I can buy additional books as I need them and they are
updated for the balance of the subscription year as well.
