I heard there were some "pilot produced" charts with escape routes,etops alts, freq's etc. available to be 'shared' on the web

Anyone know of an address where I can find such info?

If there were, you would be most unwise to trust them. Such a thing can be valid only if it is part of your Ops Manual - produced by your operator with thorough performance data on your aircraft type.

Fair enough.

I was just interested in comparing what they produced vs. what I have

Hmmff.
Your 'operator' more than likely copied them off someone else themselves!

Captain Gerd Puppel (Lufthansa A340 skipper) has a varied and comprehensive set of worldwide charts (www.planningchart.de) which when laminated at A4 size fit into your flight folder nicely and allow quick reference along with being able to show the CC where they are (approx) when you are asked the usual "Where are we now"?

Usual caveats apply about not for operational planning and reliability of freqs, updates etc, but overall a nice thing to have (in colour) when you want a quick look at where you are as opposed to unfurling the big paper charts

Cheers!!

That's the ref. I was looking for.

Thanks for the info..."YES", the old "user beware" does apply.
Still, a nice layout with useful info.

Fly Safe,
