Does anybody know where you can find scanned images of IFR en-route charts
on line (like skyvector.com does for sectionals)?

It doesn't seem to work. It shows only the whole chart at once, which
is unreadable.

aeroplanner.com has fairly decent scans of NACO en route charts. They
charge a hefty fee for them, too.

Use the zoom feature.

The zoom feature doesn't work in Firefox.

I tried, it doesn't work. It seems to be permanently depressed but it
doesn't do anything.

I tried IE 6, but that didn't work either.

It doesn't work in Netscape but it does in IE. By the time you get to a
good, readable size you will have a pretty short flight. ;-)

It works fine but it's a really crappy interface.

If you can make out what's within the triangle to begin with.

I'll second what Newps said; it's a really crappy interface.

Agreed. They are trying too hard to prevent you from copying their
content. IFR charts are public domain to begin with, so this is a bit
bizarre. SkyVector is much better; unfortunately it provides only VFR
charts.

Nothing is useless. It can always serve as a good example of how not to do
things.

I should have qualified that, "Useless for use in aviation."
