Aeronautical Charts

[MacBoero]

Here in the UK, it would seem easy enough to find aeronautical charts for UK, Europe and the USA. However I would like to get some charts for Brazil. I'm and learning to fly there, and would like to have some of my own charts before going over the next time. If it helps, I would be after charts covering the region between longitudes 39 deg West and 34 deg West, latitudes 5 deg South and 13 deg 10 min South. This is the north east area of Brazil covering Natal in the north, to Salvador in the south. Salvador being the most westerly and Recife and João Pessoa the most easterly.

Anyone have any good ideas on where suitable charts can be found for order online?

Cheers

The general idea for VFR charts are the U.S. ONC/TPC charts which exist for most of the world.

The latter can be run under Oziexplorer for a moving map GPS.

But these are old - probably > 10 years old. The trick is to buy the IFR airways charts and transpose the controlled airspace etc from those over to the VFR charts.

Or you could buy a copy of Jeppesen Flitestar for the appropriate region and print off whatever maps are available in that.

Brazil might also publish its own charts?
