Free Pilot Navigation Resources
Every pilot would love to have a fully loaded iPad with Jeppesen charts, a flight planner, wifi and 3G. Dropping a cool grand for the luxury of having the latest EFB toy probably isn't in the cards for most pilots. As an alternative, we have put together a list of some free resources pilots can use online. Print it up and go old school with paper and pencil in the cockpit for free! 1) Flight Planning FltPlan.com SkyVector.com 2) Navigation Print NACO Approach Plates at FltPlan On Final PDF Approach Plates 3) Free Downloads From NACO:
