I print out what I want, when I want it, and pick up the en-routes at the FBO once in a while. There are two rules to properly use NACO charts, which apply less to Jepps. 1. You must check the FDC NOTAMs without fail because NACO is not allowed to chart "T" FDC NOTAMs, whereas Jeppesen selectively charts them. And, just because a 28-day cycle passes doesn't mean that NACO will now chart such a NOTAM. They won't. 2. You absolutely need to subscribe to the AF/D because NACO provides none of the important data, such as VGSI limitations, etc, that Jeppesen provides (sometimes incorrectly, I may add) on its airport pages. With those two caveats, you're probably better off with today's NACO charts. Also, a subscription to NACO's en route charts from Sporty's is probably a good idea. NACO's en route charts have always been crisper, easier to read than Jepp's so far as I am concerned. |
