I'm working on a program that downloads approach plates. Ideally, it makes downloading new versions each month hassle free - open program, press Download, print a single PDF. Allows you to save selections, and avoid navigating the FAA's site. Checks latest plate version automatically. I personally find it useful, but don't know if others would. Some questions: Do you print your most-used plates, or just use the books? Does this seem faster than using the FAA website? Enough to make it worthwhile? Bugs / suggestions / feature requests? Plate you use not working? Open-source. I'm going to try to add a feature to print directly from the program, saving a step.

Do you dudes know how to find exact coordinates for UK IFR waypoints? Ie triangles on charts. I can find lots of info online about airfields and navaids, but not waypoints. Skyvector finds them, but can't give exact coordinages. For example, ROVUS. I found this and thisbut they seem incomplete.

I'm thinking about making a webapp that allows users to enter their flight plan, then automatically shows the most suitable divert fields based on criteria like services and runway length. Might draw the route with diverts on Gmaps too. What's the best way to get this info? Ideally global, but US-only's fine for now. I'd need lat/lon for every navaid, and detailed info for each airfield. The FAA has an API that seems idea for this, but it (currently?) only shows basic airfield information and weather. It has a link to NFDC that has the data I'm looking for, but it's in a readable-website format, not a developer API. I could probably find a way to pull the data from it, but this isn't ideal. I found a spreadsheet of UK Navaids with coordinates once. Something like that would help.

Can't find the CSVs. It looks like you can download the data in a single zip valid for 56 days here. Data's available in (improper UTF-8 encoded?) .txt files, and XML_based files called AIXM. I think the XML in these files may be what I need. It looks like I can also view it graphically in software called ATM viewer. Dominoes fucked around with this message at 23:31 on Aug 30, 2014 |

They include very detailed information on all FAA-controlled navaids, airports/heliports, runways, fixes, airways etc. Dominoes fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Sep 12, 2014 |
