Randy Tyndall 1087023 Posted February 2, 2011 at 03:10 AM Posted February 2, 2011 at 03:10 AM As a recent graduate of the VATCAN Flight Academy's P1 Training Program I feel compelled...nay, drawn, to Canadian Airspace to fly. Today I flew from MSP to Gander, but I had to fly VOR to VOR because I could find nothing on VRoutes or Simroutes or FlightAware as far as a routing. I even googled High Enroutes till my fingers were bleeding. I found lots of sites where I could order the charts with my friendly VISA card, but no free download sites. I checked each of the FIR Websites in VATCAN. I searched these forums and found one hit for free enroutes for North and South Canada from a 2008 thread. The site, something like CYEG.CA.TT no longer exists. I have the high enroutes for Western Canada in .pdf format but honestly have no idea where I got them. And, they are so small with no zoom capability that they are virtually useless. It's said a lot of times here in the States referring to Canada as "our neighbor to the North" So, to set a trend, how 'bout a little help for your neighbor to the South. Any such source exist?

Alan Taylor 825557 Posted February 2, 2011 at 07:13 AM Posted February 2, 2011 at 07:13 AM this what you're after? Several FIR sites are being re-vamped at the moment...it is getting to be a chore to keep track where they are "hiding" this stuff. click the text above and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Jordan Krushen 1135174 Posted February 4, 2011 at 10:43 PM Posted February 4, 2011 at 10:43 PM I should add that the Hi-enroute charts for Canada are dirt cheap. You can get the entire set for $15 plus shipping, and all the Lo-enroute charts for $25. http://www.aviationworld.net/default/pilot-industry-supplies/ca-aero-charts/canada-high-enroute-ifr-charts.html http://www.aviationworld.net/default/pilot-industry-supplies/ca-aero-charts/canada-low-enroute-ifr-charts.html It's the CAP that's pricey. PM me and I'll link you to a complete set of PDFs from April 2010 that was released by NavCanada. There's just nothing like spreading out a few paper charts on the floor and planning things that way.

Marc Wheeler Posted February 6, 2011 at 02:44 PM Posted February 6, 2011 at 02:44 PM There's just nothing like spreading out a few paper charts on the floor and planning things that way. I used to be very pic on PDf formats and used nothing but electronic copies, until I got my hands on a paper set of charts. I agree with you 100%. Paper is the way to go.
