Free Color Approach plates for Kindle Fire... are there any?

Featured Replies

Hi Everyone:

 

I have downloaded many black and white approach plates onto my Kindle Fire over the past several years.  Does anyone know if there are free COLOR approach plates for the Kindle Fire available?

 

Thanks,

 

Chris Catalano

The majority of approach plates are published only in black & white for clarity. Not all cockpit lighting environments are the same and some colours would appear brighter in one airplane/are vs. another etc etc.

 

Canadian plates do feature colour topographical features on some plates if applicable to the approach. Canada's Restricted Canada Air Pilot (RCAP) does feature full colour charts. The RCAP consists usually of RNP approaches.

 

The ICAO-style charts usually from European jurisdictions do have some colour. Especially taxi charts and aerodrome diagrams.

 

Otherwise - all the current charts for US and Canada are availible at fltplan.com w/ a free registration if you are interested.
