Charts for Hungarian airports

Térképek és letöltések – vACCHUN

Good find, but as Vatsim Hungary probably isn't always up to date with the latest AIRAC: All IAP's from Europe are accessible from here.

Takes some digging, as every authority has their own system of publishing the charts. For Hungary, the IFR charts can be found in /AIP and publications/AIP Archive/respective AIRAC AMDT (mostly you'd want to use the latest). Once you clicked on the AIRAC identifier it opens a new page with the eAIS package for Hungary including all the charts (left column - Aerodromes - chosse Airport and scroll down in the right window to the end where the charts are). VFR charts are found more straight forward from the front page under "VFR Manual".

The other countries also have a few tricks up their sleeve: Greece has you solve a captcha before you are allowed to enter AIS Greece. Under "Publications/Aeronautical Information Publication AIP you have to click on "Browse", which will open a new Window with the AIP. Click on the "AIP Button" and you'll find the Aerodrome charts in the leftt column.

Haven't checked them all, but they should all have complete charts for their country, as even Germany was forced by court verdict to publish their VFR charts that were subject to charging until last year. The downside compared to Navigraph is the effort it takes to acquire the charts, you'd have to print them or save them to some device to make them accessible, and the chart format varies from country to country.

 

Edit: Actually, it's not only Europe, it's a worldwide directory for AIP's !

It would be ideal if someone made this as an iPad app. 

UK Charts (not the easiest to navigate)

boys can i gently suggest just pay the £8 a month to Navigraph for everything , no more shenanigans everything just works ( most of the time), i realise the extra cost but for 2 quid a week 😃

... of course you can,  but I am not sure of the logic of posting this in a thread specifically about alternates to Navigraph?

Alternatives maybe more of a faff but personally I would rather put the £96 towards my yearly quota of Ledaig 18 year old!

fair enough !

There are reasons other than money to have access to resources outside Navigraph.

For example when planning multiplayer flights a Navigraph licence is personal use only and does not permit distributing your charts to the rest of the flight.

Australian Charts

Isn't even in the same league as Navigraph.

Just cough up the small monthly subscription fee and be done with this. 

I use Chartfox:

I started the thread just to give the Hungarian site that I found to prep a flight in WU14. I am glad that it has taken a life of its own ! So another contribution

All the Eurocontrol national sites :

https://www.eurocontrol.int/articles/ais-online

The French Service d’Informations Aéronautiques offers all the French airfields charts with a viewer (the site can be switched to English)

https://www.sia.aviation-civile.gouv.fr/#

Or , even better,  with a nifty free tablet app available at the App store called SOFIA VAC

Yes, a free one only. No cost. At least not when I signed up.

Takes 2 minutes…
