There are two ways to view plates from this tab: using the search box at the top right of the screen or tapping the “Tap to add plate here” button that shows up when the screen first appears.

The search is smart–enter KPDK and a drop down menu will show you all of the available plates for the Peachtree-DeKalb Airport, arranged by type of procedure. Tap the name of the procedure to view the plate right away, or tap the blue + symbol next to a chart to add it to the list of charts that are displayed as previews on the main screen. You can even specify the type of approach: entering KPDK RNAV will only show the RNAV approaches to the airport.

Likewise, the “Tap to add plate here” button is also smart. It will suggest airports based on the airport you last reviewed on the Airports tab, the route entered on the Maps tab and recent airports. If the airport is not in any of these lists, there is a search box at the top of this menu as well. Choose an airport, then choose a procedure.

But there’s an even more powerful way to organize your plates: by creating your own custom chart binders. This is a very handy but under-used feature in our experience. Taking the time to load and organize all your plates into a binder before your flight will save time and frustration in the air. You’ll have only the charts you want, all in the same place.
