ERC Charts

Now that the ERC chart is the best (and sometimes only way) to check what frequency to use, as of 1 Dec when you go to buy one at your local pilot supplies store you will find Air Services have increased the price from $2.85 for each chart to $9.20. Nothing like a 300% plus price rise as a way of showing how NAS will save us money. Sure you will get 1 free chart for the current issue and in 6 months time but what of the people who need all 8 ERC's for exams (ATPL) and 5 charts for CPL. Most of the time you do not even look at the maps that you are required to take in to the exams. Just another way of bleeding money fron the GA pilots. Shameful act from AirNoServices.
