Question of the Week

To cover its expenses, the FAA's AeroNav proposes to charge at least $150 per user for its digital databases, more than doubling the cost of apps like ForeFlight and WingX and probably eliminating free viewing of charts on services like DUATs and other no-charge sites.

Is the FAA right to raise prices for digital charts?

I think this is fair. The FAA needs to cover its costs. I accept their reasoning.

I think this is way out of line. I'm not convinced it should cost that much to deliver digital data.

I'm on the fence. How can we tell if the charges are legitimate?

I use paper charts, actually.

I use Jeppesen charts.
