is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that here we all are, involved in one of the most expensive hobbies around complaining about spending £18 on an up to date chart?
If the attitude is that penny pinching towards the most basic aid to navigation, what is the attitude to the rest of the hobby?
My company issues me with an I-Pad with all the up to date VFR nav kit on it for when I'm flying the helicopter, but also issues me with all the up to date VFR charts at the same time. The aircraft has all the Jepp plates, moving maps and everything else that a 15 000 000 dollar corporate helicopter can carry, but the charts still have lines drawn on them. My Condor has a map, compass and stopwatch and if I remember a portable GPS, but the chart is always folded to the relevant section.
