If it ever came up in a courtroom, Foreflight and FltPlan Go would both say "but we're just displaying NavCanada's maps as-is" and then prove it by showing them. I find it hard to believe either of them would carry sole liability if somehow it came to that.kamikaze wrote:Like I said, when you control the app, you control the end point, and you can control accuracy regarding the data display.
I was referring to any app that forces ongoing click charges to keep using it, vs. the one-time-fee I can pay for a paper map, and then use it as long as I want to. Foreflight forces you to buy *all* of the Canadian charts at once, not just the ones you need. And I believe they lock you out of them when your subscription expires, too... You can't keep using the Foreflight program after your subscription ends, even with expired charts.You specifically said NOT like Foreflight. FltPlan Go is more like Foreflight than not ... it's a service with an app, and the publishers control the product end-to-end.
It's only risky to their business model, and even that risk is much lower than they probably realize.Giving people PDFs, that's a whole other ball game, and a much riskier one from their perspective.
To be fair, very few people could have used the digital data back then anyway.back when nav charts were done by NRCan for TC, there were no digital products for sale (even though they existed internally).
