Alan Sutherland Posted August 16, 2008 at 08:06 AM Posted August 16, 2008 at 08:06 AM Hello Jonathan, NATS have made their charts much easier to get at and have removed the registration requirement. They can be found at http://www.nats-uk.ead-it.com/public/index.php%3Foption=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=6&Itemid=13.html I would also suggest the Eurocontrol website: http://www.ead.eurocontrol.int/publicuser/public/pu/login.jsp which contains all charts for European Eurocontrol affiliated countries and are all up to date. You complete a free registration, login go to Enter Application. Once it loads on the left doible click PAMS Light and then you the drop down menus etc to get what your looking for. Hope this helps, Alan Alan Sutherland ROvACC Training Director VATEUD TD vACC Support Manager [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Casey Posted August 16, 2008 at 12:03 PM Posted August 16, 2008 at 12:03 PM I [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ume that the PRC must have the out-dated link to the old AIS site. Any chance of someone updating it please? Bill Casey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Pritchard 1071939 Posted August 16, 2008 at 06:54 PM Author Posted August 16, 2008 at 06:54 PM Many thanks Alan, however, when I go to EAD basic (having already registered) and click on "ENTER APPLICATIONS" nothing happens. Is anyone else having this problem? Also, on the NATS website I click on any airport and all I receive is the airport name followed by a blue box called airport charts but with nothing in them????Am I doing something wrong? Do I need a particular programme to see these files? I have java etc already. © AIS MMVIII | Terms and Conditions | Privacy Policy | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Shepherd 980238 Posted August 28, 2008 at 12:49 PM Posted August 28, 2008 at 12:49 PM Johnathon, It has since changed again, if I understand you correctly; see here. Best viewed with Adobe Reader 8. I'm not aware that it requires Java as well although I'm happy to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Sutherland Posted August 30, 2008 at 07:50 AM Posted August 30, 2008 at 07:50 AM Hi Jonathan, Apologies for the late reply - I forgot I had posted a reply in this thread! I have been having some trouble recently when connecting to EAD. I normally login and click Enter Applications. There is a message that pops up, that you click OK to. At first when I started using it, the message box would get stuck behind a number fo windows and it was very hard to find. I would suggest clicking the button and nothing else, click the OK and then it should load. Otherwise I am not sure what else to say. Hope it helps Alan Alan Sutherland ROvACC Training Director VATEUD TD vACC Support Manager [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
