VFR Approach Plates for Germany - free ones available ?
Hi there,
I'm trying to find free VFR approach plates for Germany on the web - to date with no luck.
I can find a whole range of approach plates on Eurocontrol...all very useful - but the German range seems to be absent.
The only alternative seems to be to spend quite a lot of money on Jepp plates - but it seems a tad galling to do this when everything else is available for Europe.
Has anyone else experienced this 'void' of info ? Or are there websites out there that do have this infromation (websites in German absolutely fine with me, so please don't restrict to English. Have checked www.dfs-ais.de - no joy I'm afraid !)
Many thanks

Hi
I think I have already left you a reply to this question on another forum. You can find VFR plates for Germany here:

Hope this helps.

Funny thing is, you can freely access the German Military AIP on the internet (and in English to boot), but the civilian one they keep locked up in a vault somewhere? 
To think we'd be all like that if they'd won the war

it's all a copyright, and thus financial, issue. The best bet is to try and find the homepage of the airfield in question. Sometimes, not always (again, copyright issues), the up-to-date chart is provided.
Some day soon they may be officially available online.... for a fee, of course ...

German airfields Jeppview
The problem with using Jeppview is that (thye last time I checked) you could not have the VFR and IFR data at the same time, or at least using the same computer!

I have been using both the VFR and IFR Jepps on the same computor for the best part of a year,
The weight of my flight bag has dropped by 75%, the coverage increased by 200% and I am now able to plan a trip from the hotel room including filing the flight plan.
All you need is a laptop, small printer. Jeppview and a subscription to Swiss/Austrian flight planing system.
Gone are the days of hours hanging around airports doing the planning!
