approach plates website

[alpha-b]

Hey Folks.

Anybody out there could tell me a website where i can download Approach plates for free?Any help will be much appreciated

The flight simulation enthusiasts (desktop PC flight simulators) maintain many sites where you can download approach plates, but in just about every case, the plates are not current versions and thus are not suitable for navigation.

A minority of countries offer current approach plates on the internet site of their civil aviation authority, but for the most part, you have to pay to get current approach plates that can be used for actual aircraft navigation.

If you are in the US, www.airnav.com (http://www.airnav.com) is the place. Once again, they only have the US database.. And did I say they are current too?
Every single one of them.........talk about countless resources at hand.

If you want SA plates, try the SACAA website - you'll be surprised what you can find there by just scratching around a bit.

Under the Aeronautical Information, select the Aeronautical Charts option. A list will appear. Selecting any destination, takes a while to load all the options, but in the end you will have all the info for the listed aerodromes.

Hope it helps.

Try wikipedia, they have a lot of aerodrome plates available, again they're not current so don't rely on them 100%. Cheers.
