CAA 1:500 000 digital chart free download

[riccioenzo]

Hello

I am looking for a digital version of a CAA 1:500 000 VFR chart. I need it just to prepare for my UK CAA RT practical test. As I live in Spain I don't want to spend over 30 GBP to buy it here and never use it again. Are there any sites where you can down load it for free or can someone send me a copy? i would be interested in the one covering the southern part of the UK

CAA SOUTHERN ENGLAND 1:500:000 ICAO CHART
thanks!

Do you really need a CAA chart for the practical test? Maybe you can get away with using www.skydemonlight.com (http://www.skydemonlight.com)?

I would also like free charts but I have to pay for them like everyone else.

I know where to get free US Sectionals (but not to scale).

Hi

The UK RT Exam uses fake place names and locations.

You're supplied with a 'chart' to refer to but it bares only passing resemblance to the real geography, and the place names are completely jumbled up.

A 1/2 mil chart won't help you at all. In fact it could create further confusion!

Thanks - that's actually really useful to me - I was just trying to figure out how to plan for a future trip across the states. this is a great starting point.

You can download them directly from the FAA (so you can print them to scale) for free, by clicking here. (http://avn.faa.gov/index.asp?xml=aeronav/applications/VFR/chartlist_sect)

Likewise you can look up the airport facilities directory for free, directly from the FAA by clicking here. (http://avn.faa.gov/afd.asp?cycle=afd_30JUN2011&eff=06-30-2011&end=08-25-2011)

I hope that is of help too!

Thanks - that's great! What a refreshing idea!

May help to run, SkyDemon Light (http://www.skydemonlight.com/)

not a down load. This is a free VFR flight planning program that runs in explorer uses a vector version of the CAA chart.

There's an echo in here ;)

The CAA charts can be found on torrents/P2P but as stated you don't need one for the UK radio exam. From vague memory from 2000, they give you a "map" which has a few things on it and the soundtrack refers to that. The hypothetical flight takes place at about 3000kt which I found most confusing :)

I thought the whole exercise was quite bizzare and its purpose seemed to be to produce a tape recording which somebody then had to store for the next 200 years :)
