Canadian Charts

Hi Ron,

I just received an order of approach plates, sectionals, facilities
directory, low alt enroute charts from http://www.vippilot.com/ They had
the cheapest prices and shipping. Sporty's wants to charge on par in USA
dollars for list price Canadian. In other words, they mark up the price by
30%.

Cheers,
Derrick

Is there an online source for Canadian IAP charts like there is for the
NACO one's? (i.e. -- free or nearly so)

Thanks.

I too checked around and found http://www.vippilot.com/ to be the
cheapest. I plan to buy the next cycle of charts from them at the end of
the month.

Depending on where you are flying, you might be able to get away with US
charts. Most of Ontario and the eastern provinces (below the 49th
parallel) is included in the US charts. A lot of Canadians use
www.aeroplan.com, which is a US service. It is a real shame that
Canadians have to use a US service to get information about their own
country (I'm Canadian, so I can criticize my own country). I wish Nav
Canada would release its tight grip on the copyrights.

I could use the US charts for enroute. My problem is the IAP charts.

Single-copy (non-subscription) sets for any one of the 6 areas, sell for
only 20 bucks Canadian.

Thank you for that link. I see that subscription sets are also available,
but I'm not sure how the handling charge is computed. But I will check it
out when my JeppView subscription expires.

It will certainly be MUCH less expensive.

A year subscription for the Canada Flight Supplement, one en-route chart,
the Toronto VNC (sectional) and the CAP-4 (approach plates for Ontario)
costs me about $200 CDN including shipping.

All I will require will be the CAP7 and CAP5 subscriptions. On the
NAVCANADA site they are $45C each. There is also a $30C handling charge
but it's not clear if it's for each subscription or just once for the
order.

On the VIP site, the subscription price is not listed.

I've done a bunch of business with them, and service has been
consistently excellent as well. Highly recommended, mail-order or in
person.
