Even if I don't have any negative feedback on Aerad, I definitely prefer Jepp's for FLight planning, Cruise & approach. Despite they may show too much informations sometimes, and therefore are a bit confusing; I would also recommend them for flight training for the simple reason you need one plate for an ILS, without having to check your minimums on another ... Keep in mind the morse ident of navaid is "translated" on jepp's, not on aerad (not 2 years ago, for sure). .I confirm PAT doesn't mind students using Jepp's, as I did, as long as they are up to date.. .. .Another reason I'll go for Jeppesen preferably is that this company provides databases for GPS's , flight sims and flightplanning softwares ..;I think it helps to work with the same datas
