Continuing the discussion from First class pilotage -techniques and tools:
Creating a new topic so as not to bump the old one that’s been dead for a year…
So RITI shuttered their doors on September 30th. Does anyone know of another ready made source for pilot test tracings, or are we back to doing one and then taking it to a blueprint shop for copies?
Pilottestcharts.com . LA/Long Beach charts only for now. More coming soon.
IG handle pilot_test_charts is only way to order as of now
PilotTestCharts.com is live. We currently have a number of different test charts available. There is a link on home page to request a test chart not currently offered. We have gotten good feedback from our customers so far. Please reach out with questions, comments, requests either in the site or email customerservice@pilottestcharts.com.
Are you doing these by hand or electronically?
All our charts are created electronically by experts. No hand drawn charts at all. We check our chart files for perfect accuracy against NOAA PDF chart files. We also have “control lines” printed on the chart to confirm perfect dimensions and aspect ratio before shipping each chart. If you are in need of a specific chart please provide chart number and we can start on that for you.
Thank You
If you order the NOAA chart is it up to date ?
The NOAA charts on our website are currently the last issued raster NOAA charts. All are now canceled. This is because all RECs are still using the canceled NOAA charts for testing. However, we are working with a number of RECs to create a program that uses the Custom Chart Tool NOAA charts and to provide the associated blank Test Charts. It seems there is a lot of bureaucracy involved with a change of this type. Hopefully soon we can help facilitate the transition to updated CCT NOAA charts for the pilotage chart sketch exam.
The rec sent me the charts from the custom tool chart thing , I can’t send you the file and maybe you can print and add to your website ?
