wrote: Out of curiosity, Ben, why do you hate the Flite Guides? I find them quite useful. Well, I was bitter right off that I was promised 2 updates which turned out to mean you get an IMMEDIATE update (since it turns out you bought an expired book) and then ONE update in the future. Doing the updates is a pain. I don't like the form factor. It's a small, thick binder. It doesn't stack well with other aviation publications, it doesn't fit neatly in my kneeboard like an A/FD and it doesn't fit well in airplane side pockets. The small pages mean fewer airports are visible at a glance, which leads to more flipping. I bought it because I like the information layout and especially the runway diagrams. Since then (few years ago) the A/FD has gotten far more airport diagrams for the small airports and has full size diagrams for many large airports. There has always been information in the A/FD other than airports, most of which is not in the Flite Guide. -- Ben Jackson http://www.ben.com/ |
