ds.com Sydney, I ran across what looks to be a pretty comprehensive AF/D reference for the Palm, except that it is not free. http://www.notamd.com/aptins_palm.html I second this suggestion. It served me well during my Palm days and they've recently released a PocketPC version to keep me happy. -- John T http://tknowlogy.com/tknoFlyer _______________ |

Sydney, I ran across what looks to be a pretty comprehensive AF/D reference for the Palm, except that it is not free. $39.99 gets you the software and one full year of updates. Any idea how much space the AF/Ds take, or how much additional year of updates cost? Our aviation palm is a VIIx, and its memory isn't unlimited. $40 will buy a lot of paper AF/Ds. Cheers, Sydney |

After looking over the web link I provided to you (as I do not own the software), I learned that the developers have come up with a conduit that will transfer all or any portion (states) you specify, solving the various memory issues of the not-so-well endowed PDAs. Look towards the bottom of that page for the specifics. $40 will buy a lot of paper AF/Ds. About nine, or about 1.5 years worth, to be a bit more precise. I am curious what it costs to renew a subscription once one has the base software, though. -- Peter |

$40 will buy a lot of paper AF/Ds. True, but will $40 buy you a year's worth of *all* AF/D's? The good news about Airport Insight is you can try it before you buy it. As Peter mentioned, you can choose specific airports, regions, airports within a given range, individual states (and possibly a few other parameters I can't remember) to define just how much data to download to your Palm. I now use the PocketPC version which has the complete US database in a ~5MB data file. I think updates are $15/yr. All I can say is it works well for me. It has come in handy several times when I diverted or chose to land at a different airport and wanted to get all the relevant information quickly. -- John T http://tknowlogy.com/tknoFlyer _______________ |

If I remember correctlt, that raw data for the AF/D is obtained from
the National Flight Data Center (NFDC). This data used to be free from an ftp site, but now they charge $36 per 56-day cycle. You can find this at: http://www1.faa.gov/ats/ata/ata100/120/datadistr.html I believe this is the same source that Airnav uses (I could be wrong though). Sydney Hoeltzli wrote in message ...
