I have found airport diagrams for all US airports at airnav.com., but can't seem to find any approach plates for free. Anyone know where to look.

Actually, airnav.com does have instrument approach procedures for download, located near the bottom of the airport info page.

Airnav.com IAPs are in *.PDF and
FSCharts.com IAPs are in JPEG. IMO, this choice is a nobrainer especially if opened in the kneeboard.

Sonic wrote "Just wondering how do you open it kneepad. If its online." In answer to you question Sonic in the miscellaneous you can find an electronic kneeboard download. Almost resembles a tablet PC. Anyway, it has browser capability and a lot of other things built in. I use it and like it much better than the standard knee board even though I print out all my charts because realworld pilots use paper and that way I have just what they have. Although, if you have a PDA, tablet, or laptop you could save your digital charts in any of those devices. Digital flight bags are getting more and more common.

Go to your local airport where they give flight trainning and you can purchase approach plates. You might can get them free when they are out dated.Works really good. If you were in memphis Tn I would give you all of my approach plates

I use myairplane.com. Or you could buddy up with a pilot and get his outdated stuff. I tried that for a while but I prefer downloading an individual plate to keep the junk pile small

alrighty I must be overlooking something, I downloaded the brower one not the flash try it first the other one looked nice the rader anyway.
But back on topic, I was installing it but dont see what the readme files is talking about aircraft folder, but I dont see anything in there like what the new kneepad has. Do I just put it in the aircraft folder.
