Pre-takeoff checklist
Have any of you seen DuraChart sectionals yet? I saw one for the first time this past weekend while I was at the air show in Reading, PA. Most of my sectionals rip after I've folded and unfolded them about three times. But these DuraCharts look like they will really hold up. You can start to rip them if you really try hard, but it takes a big effort. Supposedly they can be written on/marked on like normal paper charts.
They sell for $9 (plus shipping), but their subscription rate is less. which is close to what the FBO charges for regular paper NACO charts. I was impressed!
It looks like the company carries only about half of the sectionals so far. TAC, WAC, and IFR low-altitude enroute charts will follow "soon".
Apparently, they were introduced during Sun-n-Fun. They are I did a quick search on POA, and didn't find any reference to them. Sorry in advance if this is already old news. I have no connection to the company--just passing along a pilot report!
