Good Atlas for Pilots
by A Customer from Janesville WI USA
Pros: Good interface of air and ground information
Cons: Scale omits some info that would be helpful
Review: Generally I'm happy with this atlas. Matching the airspace to the "groundspace" is made easy. It is a good size for handling in a cockpit (about like a magazine) and once you get used to the page arrangement easy to navigate between areas of coverage. If asked to be picky I would say that the scale is a bit large and omits some cultural and geographic features that would be nice to see on the charts.

Iffy
by Airtran 737 from FL USA
Cons: No Airways
Review: The atlas has airports and major VORs. But no AIRWAYS. It would be a wonderful Pilot Atlas if you knew where you were in relation to an airway. It's kind of a glorified road map right now.

by Tom from Colleyville TX USA
Pros: Map detail. Logical layout of charts. Aviation chart data.
Cons: No military airports. Northern Alaska omitted.
Review: Very good Atlas. Layout of pages follow a logical flow and maps are cross-referenced. Four stars because: Didn't list military bases/airports .Northern Alaska (above Anchorage) was omitted.

It meets my needs
by Paul from Charlotte NC USA
Pros: VOR's, NDB's and intersections named.
Cons: Many airfields in US not listed
Review: It misses alot of airports especially listings for AFB's and ARB's. It helps me keep track of where I am flying and I am glad I purchased it.

I would buy this product again
by Felipe from Sugar Land TX USA
Review: Excellent product. It has a lot of very good information. Much more than I was expecting. I am surprised it's a German company that is making it!

This could use updating
by DC9-82 Guy from West Chicago IL USA
Pros: Nice display of terrain and aviation info
Cons: frequencies are okay but Idents have changed.
Review: I would give this product 4 and 1\2 stars if it was 2004 when I purchased my first one. But now it is in need of updating. Vor Identifiers have changed all over the country making this product out of date.

First Class Flight Planning Tool
by Francis from Upperville, Virginia, USA
Pros: All of the above
Cons: Canadian coverage would be very useful for pilots using it in an Alaskan context
Review: I do not see how this could be much improved. For its size and weight it has an extraordinary amount of information. For a pilot considering a long trip, perhaps outside his own region, the maps and included data would give a good idea of the resources, IFR or VFR. Then would come the detail work-but this does not claim to be a full chart atlas and would be ten times the size if it were. (I have put this Atlas to work planning a trip to Alaska, and it has done all I needed so far. If only it had more Canadian coverage!)

Very Good Map
by Dan from Naugatuck CT USA
Pros: Easy to read and understand
Cons: Sometimes it is fun flipping back and forth from page to page as you fly.
Review: It was what I was looking for. It has been a big help while I fly to point out points of interest and to fulfill curiosity. Would buy it again.
