Update cost for the 430

[Bill Palmer]

Thank You, Paul

Hopefully, there's a less expensive Western-U.S.-only subscription or a one-time update option.

Let's see; Jeppesen takes free government data, massages it, and charges us at least 3 times what they should for updates; is that about right?!

Seems like the IFR database update market is wide open for a Jeppesen competitor!

Thanks Again,

Bill Palmer

I just stopped by the Jeppeson booth at OSH yesterday to see if I would be able to get a discount (I can hear you all laughing....it's Jepp...) on a "second" subscription, since I now have a 430, and am going to have an additional 430W,and they use different databases. (The answer is "no" - no discounts...).

I asked the same question. The only "discount" available was a free card programmer with an annual subscription. This normally costs $49 I think. An option that I have seen people do is pair up to get the multiple unit discount. Technically, I believe that both units should be in the same airplane but ....
