If you happen to be using a PDA for navigation in your car you can use it to run the likes of PocketFMS or MemoryMap in the air. The latter can display CAA charts and airfield diagrams (as can the former with a bit of home scanning) but I find that typical PDA screen size and brightness means that their versions of real charts are not that easy to read unless you're zoomed in so far that you then have no idea of the wider situation.

BTW, I'm intrigued by the "soul means of getting from A to B" - presumably this wouldn't require an aeroplane at all, although perhaps celestial navigation would be appropriate!
