PDFPlates.com provides approach plates and A/FDs for your Kindle, eBook reader, or tablet PC.
Each PDF file contains all approach procedures, STARs, SIDs, and
minimums, and the files are bookmarked in a hierarchical format. The A/FD Files
contain all information traditionally found in a paper A/FD. All downloads on
this site are free; we are 100% user supported.
When viewed on a
portable platform, such as a tablet PC, you can quickly select the information
you need by clicking on the bookmark menu and 'drilling down' to the state,
airport, and approach you desire.
In addition to the hierarchical bookmarks, the beginning of each PDF file also
contains an index of each airport in the document. This is especially handy when
viewed on the Amazon Kindle or another mobile platform that does not support PDF
bookmarks. You simply look up the page for the airport you are interested in
and use the "Go To Page" function of your PDF reader.

PDFPlates.com obtains the approach plates and A/FD information from the FAA using the most current
data available. Each region is downloaded individually and assembled into a PDF
document with bookmarks. Files range from approximately 100-200 MB (you probably don't
want to download it over a dial up connection!) You may download a smaller (~ 9
MB) sample here, or go directly to the
downloads
page. The A/FD files are much smaller, ranging from 20-40 MB. You can easily fit
data for the entire US on a tablet PC, and a good portion of it on the Amazon
Kindle DX.
