Default Good Place To Get Jeppesen Enroute Charts?

Doug schrieb:

What is the deal with charts in Europe. I know there are Jepp charts,
but are there local govt charts too? Sort of similar to USA with the
govt charts in the USA?


Yes. Much like the official sectionals in the USA, each European country
publishes its official VFR chart. They are usually called ICAO charts.
Of course, Jeppesen sells VFR charts for Europe, too.

There are pros and cons of the ICAO charts vs. Jepp: Pro is, you have
the "real" thing. It's the official text. No discussions. Con is, each
country has its own graphic scheme, so if you travel internationally,
you have to learn to read each chart again. Personally, I think this is
part of the fun. Learn each country and its particularities. Others
think it's a hassle. Again personally, I think Jepp charts fall short
when it comes to real visual navigation (i.e. navigation by looking out
of the window).
