Good Place To Get Jeppesen Enroute Charts?

What is the deal with charts in Europe. I know there are Jepp charts,
but are there local govt charts too? Sort of similar to USA with the
govt charts in the USA?

Enroute Chart anyone know of a place in the states that has a great
selection "World Wide" and that will sell and ship just 1 or 2 charts at

time? Thanks!

If you have Jeppesen's FlightStar, you can print off low or high altitude
en route charts from the software.

Yes. Much like the official sectionals in the USA, each European country
publishes its official VFR chart. They are usually called ICAO charts.
Of course, Jeppesen sells VFR charts for Europe, too.

There are pros and cons of the ICAO charts vs. Jepp: Pro is, you have
the "real" thing. It's the official text. No discussions. Con is, each
country has its own graphic scheme, so if you travel internationally,
you have to learn to read each chart again. Personally, I think this is
part of the fun. Learn each country and its particularities. Others
think it's a hassle. Again personally, I think Jepp charts fall short
when it comes to real visual navigation (i.e. navigation by looking out
of the window).

Oops, answering to my own post: What I wrote was thinking VFR. In some
countries, the government doesn't offer IFR charts. That's because the
IFR routes are not regulatory but strictly operational, hence the
government doesn't care. It's the decision of the ATC organisation
(which is owned, but not run by the government) to provide that information.

EU you will find most use jeppesen charts VFR and IFR most pilot shops have
them like our fbo's have government charts and I like the Jepp charts better
they are thinner, indexes, and easy to read once you go Jepp. it's hard to
go back to the Gov. charts!
