Thanks to Dennis Megary at MyAirplane.com, I've added the vector
(PDF) approach plates to my collection. http://aviationtoolbox.org/raw_data/FAA/approaches/ There's a lot that I plan to do with these, but for now I have a terribly simple kludge for finding them here. https://aviationtoolbox.org/members/...tools/airports This is all very messy right now but I wanted to make it available quickly. Plan for it to change. --kyler |

Assuming it's the same XML that's on the Sporty's chart viewer DVD, there isn't a lat-long value for the airport, just a state and chart volume (EC-1, SW-4, etc). They also have totally screwed up the ICAO ids for Alaska. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ Endless Loop: n., see Loop, Endless.

Here is some really bad code that uses it. http://aviationtoolbox.org/munge/gadflyize.py Is there any georeferencing? No, I haven't noticed any. I thought about it earlier, but I'd be very surprised if the plates could be reasonably georeferenced anyway. I recall seeing "not to scale" warnings on some of them. --kyler P.S. Anyone know if the flight simulator guys fly IFR? They've already hit the sectionals pretty hard. (I'm happy they find it useful. I'm just curious.) |

It's available in the FAA ATA-100 data set. http://aviationtoolbox.org/old/ATA-100/ There are coordinates for the reference points and for most of the runway ends. --kyler |

I've just seen screenshots of Jepp's chartview on the MX20 with the airplane overlayed on the procedure. So Jepp must have their chart coordinates electronically. The airport diagrams have nice longitude and latitude lines overlaid but the approach plates are often a little loose. What would you do with the squiggly lines by ROGEE here? http://aviationtoolbox.org/raw_data/.../00001R17L.pdf I'd trust that Jepp has all of the geo data for their own charts but I doubt it's a simple thing to add back to the FAA/NOS charts. It sure would be nice though. --kyler |

Very cool, all I've ever been able to get online up to this was poorly
scanned copies of the FAA plates (example the AOPA airport directory). I was think the FAA still had a building full of draughtsmen carefully drawing the plates. -Brenor "Kyler Laird" wrote in message ...
