IFR Terminal Procedures Tool

Hi All,

I recently started working on an instrument rating and found that the
www.naco.faa.gov website is little cumbersome to download and print
approach plates. So I created a little tool that simplifies the process
and thought others might find it useful. The tool will assemble a
single PDF document of all terminal procedures publications for one or
more (max. of 3) airports. You can also select which types of
approaches you'd like included and can also include airport diagrams,
takeoff min. and radar min. Please be patient as the downloading and PDF
assembling can take some time.

I also created a frequency and navaid tool that will calculate all
airports and navaids along a flight and print the basic information
about them. It takes a 20nm path for airports and a 50nm path for
navaids. They are presented in the order that they will be encountered.
You can give it a try he

Awesome! I've been thinking of doing something like this for a while,
but never got off my butt and did it. Thanks for putting it together.

Very nice. Which PDF module did you use for the assembly?

Thanks!!! That TPP tool is handy, but the airport/navaid tool doesn't seem
to be working. I don't get any output.
Jim

Very nice! I hate to be greedy, but how about arrivals and departures...

Excellent. My only suggestion is, can I get more than 3 airports?

Todd,

The PDF maker works great. But the freq / navaid tool doesn't appear
to do anything.
I tried it with 3y3 and RVS.

Greg

Sweet! Thanks.

Fixed. There was a little bug when using that tool with I/E. I tested
using firefox only, after all who's using i/e anymore ;^)

Thanks Todd.

This question goes out to those with ifr experience (I'm proud to say my
ticket is 17 days old). Is it reasonable to just print the destination and
alternate plates and depart?
