91.175 says that you must use a procedure based on Part 97. Doesn't say
paper, doesn't say electronic, doesn't even say current. Bob Gardner wrote in message oups.com... Hello, Are you legal if you have one oft those electronic flight bags with all the plates/maps? Or do you still need the paper ones in the plane? -dr |

Are you legal if you have one oft those electronic flight bags with all
the plates/maps? Or do you still need the paper ones in the plane? I don't know about Canada, but here in the USoA, you are not required to have either paper or electronic charts unless it is a Part 121 or Part 135 operation. Part 91...no charts VFR or IFR required by the Regs. Bob Moore |

Part 91 is just a private private?
Any Canadians on here who can sign some light on this for our skies? -dr Bob Moore wrote: Are you legal if you have one oft those electronic flight bags with all the plates/maps?

Electronic flight bag legal?
When I flew into Vancouver I brought approach plates that I had printed
off the internet. An instructor at the FBO mentioned to me that those plates were not legal. Not sure if that is an "authority" or not though. Sometimes Yanks get away with more too though. BTW: Flying into Vancouver is an awesome flight. The approach to the West bound runway (runway 27 or something like that) takes you right over the city. I got vectored all the way in. -Robert wrote: Hello, Are you legal if you have one oft those electronic flight bags with all the plates/maps? Or do you still need the paper ones in the plane? -dr |

As we have seen time and time again in the newsgroups, instructors are not
necessarily the font of all knowledge. The one you mention was wrong. Bob Gardner "Robert M. Gary" wrote in message oups.com...

The reason he gave is that the actual approaches are copywrited,
intellectual property and that the gov't does not allow you to just print them out yourself. One of a number of reasons its more expensive to live in Canada. -Robert Bob Gardner wrote: As we have seen time and time again in the newsgroups, instructors are not necessarily the font of all knowledge.

Enlighten me as to where in any regulation it says that NACO charts are
copyrighted? And which regulation bars their being printed out? I use NACO charts in my books precisely because they are in the public domain, and good old Captain Jepp, to whom I entrusted my life for many years, gets uptight if you use his charts without (in the case of ASA) purchasing permission.

In a previous article, "Robert M. Gary" said:

One of a number of reasons its more expensive to live in Canada. Actually, I think before they privatized ATC, the approach plates were not copyright like that. I know that when I first started to build my navaid.com web site, Energy Mines and Resources Canada web site had information on access to digital aeronautical data for a nominal fee, the same way the FAA does, but when I inquired they said that this was under review pending the transfer of the ownership of the data to NavCanada, and when I asked a few months later they said "sorry, it's not our data any more". It always annoys me when data that your government collects using your tax dollars isn't available to you for the cost of the materials. Of course when I first started looking at what would become navaid.com, the FAA data was available only on 9-track tapes, which were hideously expensive and hard to find somebody who could read them. I told them that if they gave me free access to the data, I'd be pleased to donate a computer with a CD burner so they could come into the current century, and a few years later they did finally start doing the data via CD. Now I wish they'd just put it on an FTP site (like I do at ftp://xcski.net/ - ssshhhh, don't tell anybody). There's no pleasing some people. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ Usenet is a co-operative venture, backed by nasty people - follow the standards. -- Chris Rovers |
