We currently have 2,846 charts from EchoFlight in our database, including over 420 SID/STAR charts. I currently have all the approach charts for our Lower 48 state destinations (plus Anchorage, St. Thomas and San Juan) as well as all the SIDs. EchoFlight lists all the STARs alphabetically, and I currently have all the STARs beginning with the letters A, W, Y, and Z. One value-add we have over EchoFlight is that our STARs are organized by airport, and theirs aren't.

One favour I will be asking from all of you is your assistance getting approach/SID/STAR charts for destinations outside the United States. We have an extensive set of European, Canadian and Asian destinations, and I'll need your help in getting charts for those airports. If you can find them in GIF/JPEG format, please get what you can, ZIP them up and send them to me.

Cheers!

Luke

Is there a way to convert PDF images to JPG? If there is I have a ton for you.

That throws a bit of a monkey wrench in things, but I'll see what I can do. The system was designed to handle GIF/JPG images only, but there's nothing there that prevents a PDF from being used instead, as far as I know.

Shoot me over a batch and I'll give 'em a try.

Cheers!

If you have Adobe photoshop u should be able to open and convert them into gif/jpeg, I say should cause there is some versions that required a plug in for photoshop.
