I used Jeppesen for 2 decades while I lived in California. What a deal, one
moderate charge for the Western States coverage and an occasional trip order
when going elsewhere. Retired moved to NW Arkansas and quickly found that Jep
chart service for this area is simply too expensive (by an unbelievable margin)
so I converted to FAA charts. I just order the cheap (?) little books for the
states that I'm going to be traveling across and throw them in the bag and
rarely use them. On Monday my plan was to fly to Wisconsin for the Northwoods
Race then to Williamsport for the Lycoming school then to Cleveland Texas for
the race there. I placed an order for a lot of charts both VFR and IFR and 12
books of Terminal Procedures next day air delivery. Tuesday they came after the
Lycoming school called with the dissassembly/reassembly course opening that was
like a hand grenade in my carefully organized plans so now most of them are just
updates to what I already have in current form. That's OK I should keep up to
date.
Last night after my all day effort to come up with a plan and make arrangemnts
to allow the race and school schedule requirements to be satisfied I opened the
big box that the UPS man brought to my door and I found my 11" high stack of
approach plates are Loose Leaf and not bound. I had that checked off in my
on-line order form but I though I would be safer time wise if I talked to a
person on the phone rather than depending on the cyber link to be processed by a
human when it came to their attention. Bottom line, I forgot to specify
"BOUND". I just ordered 3 binders to be shipped next day air since that should be
enough to cover my current need. OK HERE IT COMES ...
Do stationary stores sell binders or other suitable devices like loose leaf
rings That one could use to keep these thousands of pages organized?
