CHARTS

Featured Replies

Navigraph charts are the same as the real-world charts that are published by Lido/Lufthansa Systems. The only difference is the some of the airline specific content (e.g. EOSIDs) and the fact that the charting cycle differs.  Navigraph does not update the Lido charts on a 28 day cycle.  I believe the Navigraph updates on about a 90 day cycle, so some charts may be out of date for few weeks. The vast majority will be current.

I use Navigraph for all flying outside the U.S., Canada, and Latin America.

Skyvector has all instrument charts for US airports, but not for Europe or Asia.

Navigraph would probably be your best solution. They are moving from LIDO (Lufthansa) charts to Jeppesen. The LIDO charts are better quality, but only updated every few months. The new Jeppesen charts will be updated monthly, and will be the very same ones that are used by real world pilots, (who pay thousands of dollars per year for subscriptions).

The navigraph ultimate subscription is about $75 per year. (Or the equivalent in your local currency) That includes charts and unlimited FMS data. It's not inexpensive, but on the other hand, it gives the very same Jeppesen charts that a real pilot would have to pay $5,000 per year for (or more.)

Each Navigraph chart is marked "For flight simulation use only". The Navigraph charts don't include EVERY airport in the world, but do have almost all airports that are big enough to have some level of airline service.

For US airports there are many web sites that provide free charts - Skyvector, Airnav, even the FAA itself.

Many European countries provide free access to approach and enroute charts. For example, for the U.K. the web site is:
