It costs too much!
The person starting this thread has rejected out of hand two products that have taken some time to develop and are intended to be the best to use in the cockpit environment Jeppesen and EAG (AERAD disappeared a few years back).
The toilet paper jibe is particular telling and uninformed, Jepps use this grade of paper to save weight and it is stronger than the alternative.
Im not a particular fan of EAG plates but they are far better for cockpit use than the AIC version and the Jepps are streets ahead of both, when the workload goes up and the cloud base goes down is the time you will start to appreciate good and clear information that is well presented so as to avoid errors on your part.
Now how much is your next mistake going to cost ?
