Default Printing off approach plates on demand?

wrote in message
oups.com

I'm new to this IFR stuff and I'm wondering if I can subscribe to Jepp
or some other service and print off approach plates and airport
diagrams at my liesure? Ideally log into a web site every month, see
if the plate changed, and if so, re-print it. Seems easy, so I
imagine its available... any links and costs would be a great help.


As others have mentioned, you can print NACO charts directly from the Fed.
Another option I use is Sporty's Chart Viewer.

http://sportys.com/pilotshop/pages/chartviewer.cfm

This runs me about $11/mo and gives me every approach in the US on a single
DVD. The charts look great on my Gateway CX200 Tablet, but I can obviously
print as many as I want. For a typical flight, I'll print the airport
diagrams, departures, arrivals and approaches I expect to use and the rest
are readily available on the Tablet's hard drive (or disc drive, if you're
so inclined).
