Nah, it's those effin NACO or NOS or...whatever they're called now...charts.

I just can't find information on those as easily as I can on the jepps, but I didn't feel like loading Jeppview just to see if I needed an alternate. Fail.

Funny, I'm exactly the opposite. I'll take a NACO/NOS/DOD plate or chart any day of the week over that crap Jeppesen produces. More than a coincidence it's thin like toilet paper?
 
NACO charts look like someone loaded the approach information into a shotgun, pointed it at the plate, and then printed the result. At least on the Jepps they TRIED to put things on the chart in an orderly fashion.

Which is especially nice when you get a retard like me up past his bedtime trying to figure out if I can even depart....

If that works for you, great.

But, you have a problem once you leave the good 'ole US of A.
 
Well, the first half of my flying career was entirely overseas, but it was in the AF so I didn't run into that issue. :) I've just never been a fan of the Jepp product.

It's mostly two little things I miss. One is actually having the runway slope on the postage stamp. The other is that little arrow on the postage stamp that shows which direction you're coming to the runway from which is really useful if it's at an angle on a non-precision. You can figure both of these things out with some thinking but I prefer having it on there to just look down at.
