What happened to the free aviation database updated every 28 days? The
latest is still October 2006!


Notice: The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has removed
DAFIF™, FLIP, and ECHUM data from the NGA public web site effective
October 1, 2006. Department of Defense (DoD) customers are able to
access DAFIF™, FLIP information, and ECHUM by accessing the NGA's web
site on the NIPRNet. The NGA NIPRNet site, in accordance with a number
of DoD directives, is Public Key Enabled (PKE); meaning that the site is
encrypted using the DoD Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).


I believe you can still get the US only data (called USFIF (?)) until
October 2007. After that it is back to digitizing sectionals.
