April 5, 201610 yr All, I've learned to heavily rely on AirNav & Skyvector for all my US planning. But I'm interested in joining a European based VA and I'm not finding a similar online resource.

Free is always preferred but I have no problem paying for charts from a reliable source. Jepp is out of budget, though. Thanks! - Mark Manacsa Most of the flight simulation community is pretty toxic and gets easily worked up about little things. Just go into it knowing that.
April 5, 201610 yr You can find a bunch of various countries charts through Euro Control - http://www.eurocontrol.int/articles/ais-online - with links to the official country sites.

Have a look at SkyDemon as well, not free but affordable I'd say and very nice for EU flying. http://www.skydemon.aero Hans
April 5, 201610 yr Author Excellent. Registered and have been browsing. Thanks for the great tip. They're absolutely all there (a little tricky to navigate) but it's all good. Thanks for the tip. I'll check out Skydemon as well! - Mark Manacsa Most of the flight simulation community is pretty toxic and gets easily worked up about little things. Just go into it knowing that.
