That is one of the reasons that I still use the Jepp product, it has a full size layout for every airport with an approach to it. Now that NACO charts are in vector graphics you can crop the little airport diagram for airports that don't have a full-page airport diagram, and print that cropped diagram out full page, and at full resolution. Unfortunately, those mini-diagrams don't have taxiway data or building layouts. You need to look closer. They have taxiways and ramps, although they don't have buildings. |

Some of the larger ones perhaps, but one place I go (EFC) it only shows the runway and general shape of the ramp...and that's actually sorta inaccurate. What I like with a full AD is being able to find a taxi way when the ground controller tells me where to go...literally. |

There isn't any taxiway. |

Not many non-tower fields have runway and taxi way layouts that are all that complicated. I'm sure there's one somewhere in the US, but I haven't come across it yet. Matt |

KGLS, Galveston, TX, shows almost no detail, no taxiways, no ramp, no nothing, and there is a lot here. Jepp shows it all. The NACO chart also shows runway 8/26, which has been closed for over 20 years, and can no longer even be seen. Perhaps it is a transition sort of thing, but the ones I've compared are quite similar to the Jepps, except no buildings. |

After I posted my reply I pulled up the NACO PDF for GLS ILS 13? and see all kinds of taxiways, etc. |

The most complicated non-towered field I know if is HTO (http://www.myairplane.com/databases/...5016VDRG10.PDF). Three runways, and the main runway parallel taxiway doesn't go the whole length. At night, it's easy to get confused as to where you're going. DAMHIKT :-) Non-towered airports with more than one runway make me uncomfortable. Make it three runways, with two of them doubling as taxiways, and it becomes downright scary. |
