Electronic Airport Facility Directories ("A/FDs")

My interpretation is that this data is just as legal as a paper AF/D
since this is the official source of the AF/D. So you can probably
argue that as long as you can verify that the source database is
current, using a website like airnav which parses the database for you
is also legal.

Just like using Jepp instrument charts. They just get the raw data from
the FAA and print it up in a convenient form. They don't have any special
signet ring that makes their charts any more official than anybody else's.

posts, we'll be here all day.

Of course. There's not any point in commenting on them, for the same reason
there's no point in commenting on typos in posts generally. Even my own
posts have been known to have typos on occasion. As long as everyone
understands what was meant, who cares?

The issue there is that the AFD is a compilation of information from
different sources, one of which is the FAA.

What are the others?


National Aviation Charting Office
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport/Facility_Directory).
Considering myafd.com has the charts and most of the same information,
yet lacks some non-NACO related information suggests that there are
other sources involved as well,

Are you saying this isn't possible?

Can't figure out why anyone would use that green book. I use the
Airguide. Check notams before you go. What's the problem?

The price of the green book is about 1/6th of the cost of Airguide.

Don't get me wrong; I have a Flight Guide subscription too.

I haven't ever checked because I didn't care about the price. We have
the green books at the tower and they are horrible. I have the western
and central states and it costs $50 a year, the green books only cost
about $8 a year totasl for two thirds of the country?
