AirNav.com. . .How do they do that?

[montana]

How is the website airnav.com able to keep current the STARS, DP's, and IAPs along with a host of other airport information for every airport in the US? I know they don't have a guy going through the Jepp charts that are mailed out every week and then updating the website. I'm not a web guy, but I think it is a pretty amazing function. Any insights?

Might not be current! DOH!

Wouldn't that suck.
It usually appears that they are though.
I've never seen one out of date. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

They don't have any Jepp stuff on their site, do they? I think it's all fed stuff, which would simplify it a great deal.

The links are directly from NACO's website, if you look. They link to 204.108.4.16

That would answer the question, then, wouldn't it.

If you want only the charts without the slow speed of the airnav website, check out http://www.myairplane.com/databases/approach/index.php?mode=d

Or you could just go straight to Naco's website.

They don't have digital en-routes and sectionals though

they also rely on people like you and me to help update fuel prices at the fields and for any input anyone might have about a certain fbo....I absolutely love that website, but it is slow as hell sometimes!

Skyvector.com has sectionals. They DO run a little behind on the updates from time to time. It's usually only a couple days though.

I like www.runwayfinder.com since they use the google maps engine and you can switch between maps/chart/sat view.
