Hi All,

I am an IFR student and a current subscriber of Jeppesen Airway
manual express service (East). Every 28 days I get a revision from
Jeppesen which includes revisions for the approach plates.

My initial packet had enroute charts and I have received update for an
enroute chart only once. Don't the enroute charts expire after 56
days? If so, how do others keep up-to-date the enroute charts. Do I
need to be subscribed to some other service?

While I'm at it, does anyone know of a good discount store for
Jeppesen subscriptions?

Thanks for all the help

You will get a set of revisions mid cycle, then an entire new set of charts
(less the low altitudes) every 56 days. They come in a bunch of white boxes.

There is no discount anywhere- I'm thinking about switching to FAA charts- I
can get coverage for the entire US for less money.

Right.. I get the white boxes every 56 days. I was wondering about the
low altitudes. Can I still use the one that Jeppesen had sent me
initially, or do I need to have a separate subscription.

They rarely change the low altitudes- you need to look at the chart notams
in the revision cycles to see if there are any changes. The Jepp lows are
flimsy, and for a few extra dollars I subscribe to the FAA charts, which are
larger scale, more durable, and are replaced on a regular basis.

It's true that the low altitude charts rarely change. However, they
will send you replacements for free - all you have to do is ask.

I wear mine out quite often (the low altitude and area chart) and have
received several replacements over the years.
