Here's a good reason to buy the Airway Express.
I've been having a lot of trouble with my charts lately. I normally put the charts I'll be using for a particular month in a separate binder to make them easier to handle. Last week in BGM, we got deiced and somehow deice fluid leaked in my window and soaked my charts. It took them three days to dry and when they did they were so wrinkled that I could barely close my smaller binder.
So I went by Tech Pubs and replaced the ruined charts, then this morning, the first day of my new trip, it was raining cats and dogs. I put my binder in the cubby next to my seat just like normal. A few minutes later, I realized that there is an inch of water in the cubby soaking my new charts. I didn't realize it, but it was the same plane from last week!
So I spent the afternoon of our first overnight ironing my Jepps to dry them out. It works pretty well, but I'm back to the point of having them so wrinkled that the binder will barely close and they are difficult to take out and put in.
So I guess I'll make yet another trip to Tech Pubs when this is over. See I had the Airway Manual Xpress, I could just look forward to replacing everything with the next revision.
