Navtech Charts
Has anyone figured out how to download all the charts for a particular airfield in one go , as we used to be able to do with Jeppview ?
How do you change the size of the left menu box after selecting charts , the one containing the chart description . It is so small one has to constantly move the bar left and right to be able to read the description.
The charts are nowhere as good as the Jepp charts
The holding speed depiction doesn't differentiate between Pans ops and Pans ops 3/4 . The HK minimas are different even though the runway elevation is the same They call this progress ?

OK, I haven't seen the new charts and would not be surprised if the user comfort wasn't the reason for CX to switch.
But can we please stop arguing about minima and holding speed? Are we all finally brainwashed by certain old school trainers and their moronic grip of the non-essential?
By what differs the minimum? 2 or 3 feet? Who needs holding speeds? You ask ATC for the minimum clean and you get it, don't you??

Hate to burst your bubble but the reason CX changed was $$$$$$$$$$$
And possibly the fact that Jepp charts couldn't be used on our new EFB's in the future. Once again down to $$$$$$$$$
Yes, we will be getting our own EFB's in the future, just don't hold ya breath!!

Just looking at the ILS 07L HKG Navtech charts.
Bit different
How come it doesn't show the minimum procedural heights of 2,000' and then 1,700' after LIMES?
Also on the Jepp LIMES is 4,500' or as directed.
I see lots of confusion coming along quite soon!!

Look at note bottom left on 50-1 on Navtech, when NLG is US, you are referred to 10-24, where it will state that with NLG US you can only decent to 2000 initially.
So I guess main difference here is that Jepp played it safe by saying 2000' after LIMES. That covers both cases regarding NLG's serviceability.

I prefer Jepp in that case, looking up other charts and cross referencing is a pain and could be dangerous. Jepp obviously have our asses covered.
Look at VMMC LOC 34 chart. Missed App altitude is 6000(eventually), but other Altitudes on there for the Initial appr makes it look like you should go up to FL110. Only once you study it carefully do you see the pitfalls.
I'm willing to bet my bonus that there will be loads of errors on the line and even some failed line checks/upgrades due to the switchover.

I find them more cluttered than jeeps on some plates. I do like the jeeps that they give the MSA directions so you know which sector you are in, but then again I can't tell direction. Different font could make certain things stand out.

Jepp charts were not IAW the HK AIP if NLG was serviceable, the altitudes were only if NLG was U/S, see note 1 on on the chart above.

The discrepancy with HKG 07L/R Approaches has to do with the fact that Jepp combines the ILS and LOC approach on one chart while Navtech has separate charts for each procedure.
I know that there are pros/cons to each, but on the whole, Navtech wins in my opinion. Jepp presentation has been largely static for 3 decades...
