Hello!

I never carried VFR charts on India-Flightplans in 20+ years of instrument flying. Private, commercial and instructing. We fly all over Europe and the heap of VFR charts required would probably cost us one passenger on each flight due to it's weight and size. The cost of yearly renewal for all aeroplanes on our fleet of all those charts would probably ruin the company as well.

But due to my instructing, I always have the 1:500.000 chart of the region where we mostly do our training flights in my flying bag.

Regards,
Max
