You can subscribe to the NACO electronic charts on DVD from Sporty's.
Still a pretty good deal, then you have them all on your PC.


Hmm. What format, and are these both en route and approach?

[Of course, printing en route charts...]

I get a little apprehensive when I think about flying with a limited set of
charts (ie. only those for my destination, alternate, and starting point).
What if I need to put down IFR somewhere unexpected?

I also become appehensive when I consider relying upon an electronic DB of
charts. Power problems, MSFT Blue Screen of Death (or the equiv. for some
other OS), accidentally dropping the thing...

Others are obviously solving these concerns to their satisfaction. How?
