If your seeking to calculate the ratio of Pooleys Guide purchases to pilots, I think the number is about to start dropping – I’m not buying any more.

It’s about time they moved into the 21st century with the rest of us and supplied information in electronic format. I called them during this year inquiring about availability of electronic copies and it seems there is some disagreement within their company whether they should make the move.

If they come out with their 2011 offerings and no one buys; maybe they’ll get the message.

Pooleys information is available electronically on the Flymap system. Not sure how it's managed.

I tend not to buy it every year anyway - details can be checked with a phone call.

It does seem to me to be the perfect application for a web-based service, particularly if it was possible over WAP for smartphones.

I get the AFE guide and download latest AD info if/when required from relevant AIP.

It (AFE guide) gives the mother-in-law something useful to buy me at Christmas

Jeppview with updates has the lot.

If your using pilotwizz pro on iphone you can download the most up to date AIP AD plates free, granted they're a little busy looking on a small screen, and more cluttered than the pooleys/jep but all the data is there and you can't go wrong with the source documentation. Sorry i can't be any help with the numbers...
