Benefits:

• Actual FAA/NACO Plates
• Update fast and easily only when you fly!
• Either loose-leaf or bound-your choice!
• Available for full U.S. or by region
• Download any current plate from our website!

The Approach Plates supplied as part of the Air Chart System are actual FAA/National Aeronautical Charting Office (NACO) Terminal Publication Procedures books. The books come either loose-leaf with holes punched at the top (see "Book Buddy Ring Binders") or bound like a paperback book. Plates are available for the full U.S. or by areas (see map at lower right).

You receive one set of Approach Plate Books per annual cycle. Subsequently, on the FAA's 28-day cycle, you receive a NOTAM update sheet with any revisions to the underlying plates. The 56-day cycle updates are cumulative; if you haven't flown or updated for several months all you have to do is refer to the current, cumulative NOTAM update. If there is no change listed for a given approach, then the existing plate is still current. If there is a change listed, all you have to do is make the change to that plate. You do not have to update plates with revisions to approaches you won't be flying. With Air Chart Systems, you won't be spending hours and hours of filing new plates with minor changes or changes to approaches you will never fly. At any point in the cycle, all you have to do is check the NOTAMS, update any pertinent plates, and go. You always have current plates!

As an added feature, we now post all current FAA/NACO Approach Plates to our website every 28 days. As a subscriber, you can print out current plates at any time during our cycle.
