Just pulled my iPad out of my briefcase, Ontario as well!

That makes the subscription worthwhile, although I will run out of old CFS copies to give to my Cadets.

Go to the documents section and you can download the entire CFS, or it links to the relevant page from the airport page.

And yet you still can't buy a PDF from the NavCanada store. Ludicrous.

Has anybody heard if this stuff will be available for Air Nav Pro? I've tried a couple of searches but nothing has come up. Maybe not hitting the keywords.

EDITED TO ADD:

Just received a reply to my question through the Air Nav Facebook page. They are working to implement the VFR/VTA with their software though it is taking some time. They've advised that updates will be discussed via the Facebook page.

I heard some details about Nav Canada's requirements for these companies. First off, they want $75k to start, which kills most interest from these companies. One company wanted to participate, was willing to pay the $75k, and NavCan asked how they were going to sell the software. The company said that the software would be free, but paid for by advertising. Nav Canada said "you're not going to charge for it?" ... and backed out.

The company in question went on to say that they have arrangements with 26 countries, and Canada is the only one that doesn't have a free data stream.

The missing toronto and vancouver VTA back pages are now available in the downloads section.

Seems like foreflight is on top of customer suggestions. There was a small private airstrip that had the incorrect co-ordinates (typo... 131.xxx degrees rather than 113.xxx). One quick note to them and it was corrected on the next download cycle.

Foreflight has definately made some improvements for the vfr pilot this year.

You still can't switch between lo- charts that cover the same area, so lots of important information that appears close to the edge of a chart isn't visible.
No time to fix, according to Foreflight.

Is it just me or is it not possible to download the VNC/VTA legend in the FltPlan Go app?

It would make more sense to ask your question in a new thread since the subject of your question isn't at all related to this thread's title, and the previous post in this thread was nearly two and a half years ago.
