Here is some really bad code that uses it. http://aviationtoolbox.org/munge/gadflyize.py Is there any georeferencing? No, I haven't noticed any. I thought about it earlier, but I'd be very surprised if the plates could be reasonably georeferenced anyway. I recall seeing "not to scale" warnings on some of them. --kyler P.S. Anyone know if the flight simulator guys fly IFR? They've already hit the sectionals pretty hard. (I'm happy they find it useful. I'm just curious.) Thanks for this incredible resource. And yes simmers do fly IFR, including me. I'm a PP-ASEL but not instrument rated. I have taken a few instrument lessns and read extensively on the subject to insure that I am using proper procedures when flying IFR on the computer. I use the sim for GA flight but there are guys that fly airliners all over the world IFR on the computer. Rich Russell |

The airport diagrams have nice longitude and latitude lines overlaid but the approach plates are often a little loose. What would you do with the squiggly lines by ROGEE here? http://aviationtoolbox.org/raw_data/...-TPP/Published _pdfs/00001R17L.pdf I take it to mean that the VOR is not where charted but is in that direction, just further away.

Plan for it to change. --kyler Kyler, Personally, I think this is very cool of you to do, but the approach plates are already online at: http://www.naco.faa.gov/index.asp?xml=naco/online/d_tpp Of course AOPA is also doing it, but the quality of their product leaves a bit to be desired. I'm not quite sure why you are taking on the expense and trouble of providing this service?

Sure, I could dig without it but it would get messy. For now I'll just change my utility to point at their PDF files for the simple links. Thank you. --kyler |

I want to be able to easily experiment with the files. http://aviationtoolbox.org/munge/plates_by_state/ For free no less. The value that a data collection like this offers me is sharply lower if I'm not free to do what I want with it. I assume that there are others who want the same thing - tools to help them innovate, not interfaces/licenses that restrict them to predefined usages. --kyler |
