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.
