Adam, for most of Europe, yes, but some countries like Germany and Switzerland segregate VFR-only airfields into a separate AIP, which is not freely accessible. On the other hand, Google Maps and similar sources don't really make a good topo base. I tried making my own electronic charts for OziExplorer, and the ones based on Google Maps turned out to be very poorly readable. OpenStreetMap was slightly better but still far from perfect. Military topo maps were the best.

Peter, yes, that's what I'm talking about, and similar arrangements exist in other EU countries, including Ireland, Czech Republic and Poland. In fact, every EU country is supposed to create its mapping data portal, some are just lagging behind.
