Taxi Charts

[Demious 23]

I'm still searching for a site where I can find taxi charts. I found plenty of sites, with all kinds of charts, but so far I haven't been able to find one where I can get taxi charts.

Can someone please tell me where to go to find those?

Those are often difficult to find. 

 

Also, bear in mind that many times they aren't labeled "taxi chart" as such, but "airport diagram" or similar. While an airport diagram is not exactly the same as a taxi chart (taxi charts are more detailed, there are often several taxi charts but only one airport diagram), an airport diagram ought to be enough on the simulator.

 

For example, if you go to look for taxi charts for KJFK on Airnav, you won't find any: http://www.airnav.com/airport/JFK

 

But on Charts.Aero you'll get the airport diagram: https://charts.aero/airport/KJFK

 

Jeppesen provides with detailed taxi charts, but those are for sale (and aren't precisely cheap).

Not sure where you're flying.  If it's in the US there are airport diagrams available on http://www.skyvector.com...just click the airport and, for most, it's on the upper left of the new page.

Yes you can. You will find the airport diagram by click the "download pdf" below the "Airport Diagram" section on the right side of the page. 

 

It takes you to this: http://155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1404/00610AD.PDF

 

If you are looking for gate/parking positions, or taxi flow charts like some airports have in Europe, that's a different story.

Bit of topic but  if you got aivlasoft efb  it  will show you where you are parked  and  you can picked what taxi way you need to get  to your active rwy

Well, basicly I need a chart for everywhere I want to take off from and everywhere want to fly to, but mostly that would be Europe, starting at EHEH. So I'm looking for a site, or maybe two if that's necessary, where I can find everything I need. I'm getting a little tired of spending a whole day, or even a whole weekend, looking for a chart I need and wasting all flying time on planning, without getting anywhere.

I indeed found lots of different charts at the sites mentioned and several more, but not for Europe and often I find several different charts, except for the taxi chart. And also with googling for a specific taxi chart, or airport diagram nothing turns up.

 

What I would like is one or two websites, or programs, that can provide me with everything I need to make a complete planning, so that I can gather the stuff I need without wasting too much of my flying time

In Europe you have access to real world charts for free.

 

You just need to go to the aip or ais for a specific country.

 

Ex, if you google Netherlands aip your first hit will be: http://www.ais-netherlands.nl

 

Go to that link and click on ais publications and agree.

 

On the next page click on the link "integrated aeronautical information package"

 

The page that opens now is the mother ship. All approach plates and charts made by anyone, are based on this info.

 

From here, if in example you wanted find the taxi chart for EHAM you would go on the left to: aerodromes (in the aerodromes section) then click on eham then charts related to an aerodrome.

 

On the right, you will now see all plates, including SIDS stars approaches taxi etc.

 

S for the taxi chart you would click on the top one called aerodrome chart.

 

Here is a link to find more aip websites for different countries: http://www.flyingineurope.be/AIS%20-%20CAA.htm

 

Alternatively there are pay ware solutions available.
