Flight Guide eBooks with IFR PilotPlates debut

By Janice Wood · November 2, 2009 ·

What’s better than having Flight Guide airport data in your cockpit? How about Flight Guide airport data and IFR approach plates integrated with each airport?

Introducing Flight Guide eBooks now with IFR PilotPlates. Flight Guide eBooks display airport diagrams, airspace graphics, fuel prices, pertinent airport and supplementary information and more, on portable Sony and Kindle DX Readers. The display reads as clearly as ink on paper — even in direct sunlight. The rechargeable battery can last for weeks on a single charge.

And now as an add-on feature, Flight Guide eBooks can be used alongside IFR PilotPlates. Buy all three regions of both Flight Guide eBook and IFR Pilot Plates, and together you will have yourself a suitcase full of printed IFR and VFR airport data in one portable lightweight digital reader — for a fraction of the cost. Say “goodbye” to inserting printed paper revisions. Download weekly updates to your personal computer from the Internet anywhere, anytime. Then transfer newly revised Flight Guide eBooks and IFR Pilot Plates within a few minutes via a USB cable. Now you have all the current necessary airport and supplementary information and IFR approach plates right there in the cockpit with you.

IFR PilotPlates include IAPs, DPs, STARs, Airport Diagrams, TakeOff, Radar and Alternate Minimums. New chart releases are available every 28 days (download of new IFR PilotPlates are available approximately 10 days before a new volume becomes active). IFR PilotPlates provides more than 21,000 charts that can be downloaded by region (west, central or east) or the entire USA.

A Flight Guide eBook annual membership is $35 per region, $89 for all three regions. Flight Guide manual subscribers pay only $19 per region.

An IFR Pilot Plates eBook annual membership is $79 per region, $199 for all three regions.

Flight Guide, which has served general aviation since 1960, is the nation’s leading VFR airport directory and frequency manual.
