Exam-O-Grams

Hello all!

I was recently in a local used book store, and on their aviation shelf,
there was a bound copy (if staples count as binding) of FAA publication
AAC-45C, containing VFR and IFR "Exam-O-Grams". Using the search at
the FAA, plus a little Googling of both the Web and Usenet, seems to
show that these are no longer published by the FAA or anyone else.
There was one hit on the FAA site in a presentation that recommended
re-starting the program, and one hit in this group of someone asking for
a copy of one of them, but not much else.

The description on the index page says:

"Exam-O-Grams are brief and timely explanations of important
aeronautical knowledge items. These items include concepts and
procedures that are critical to aviation safety, common misconceptions
among airman applications, and areas which cause general difficulty in
written tests.

Exam-O-Grams are developed on a continuing basis, only as needs arise,
and not on a regularly scheduled basis. They are distributed free (one
copy per request) to airman applicants, pilots, ground and flight
instructors, educational institutions, airman training centers, flying
clubs, and other interested groups and individuals. Exam-O-Grams may
be reproduced without further permission from FAA."

Would scanned copies of these be useful to anyone? Or are there better,
more modern materials that have taken their place?

I have access to a scanner with a page feeder, so scanning them isn't
too much of a job. One caveat is that this is an older publication; the
revision dates for the VFR pages run from 8/1964 to 1/1977 and for the
IFR pages from 8/1965 to 1/1977. Some of them are probably still
perfectly valid and true, but I'm sure there have been enough changes
in 30+ years to make some of them partly or totally obsolete, and I
would prefer not to put wrong information out there.

I've scanned in a few pages already as a test. Right now they should
print at 300 dpi on an 8.5"x11" page, so the files are somewhat large
at about 500 kb each. Here's the VFR index page:

And here's VFR #9:

The above images are a first cut. If many people want copies, I might
reduce the resolution (for smaller file size), and I will probably
convert them to PDF. PDF may not be the "best" file format for this,
but from past experience, it has the great advantage that it usually
comes out the right size when printed.

Or, if this whole thing is a silly idea, let me know that too.
