Sign up for GCAP and download some of their plates. They print off nicely on A5, and are simplified
There is an R missing in GCAP. Seriously. Better than AIP plates, which in turn are better than a blank sheet of paper.

Get samples - Aerad, Jepp, GCAP, and AIP for the same approaches, and make up your own mind.

Check they match the AIP plates online and make sure you have the latest.
Yeah, right. I pay Jeppesen to do that for me.

Just be aware - the chart providers are not perfect, but they have their own "NOTAM"-like system you should check / subscribe to.

For example, Jeppesen did not update the Warton (EGNO) plates because they received an update in August too late (at least that was their excuse), so they withdrew the charts and issued new charts early September. They have an RSS feed that notifies of issues in their data such as the above.
