Sporty's new Plates app is the ultimate app for approach charts on the iPad. With Plates, pilots can carry every US approach plate on every flight, and save over 90% off the price of paper charts. Imagine a whole stack of approach charts reduced to the convenience and reliability of a 1.6 lb. iPad.
Both Sporty's and ForeFlight were founded by pilots for pilots, so the companies focused on creating an app that would be at home in the demanding environment of a general aviation cockpit. Quick-access features like Night View and the Favorite Plates List reduce button pushing and save pilots time in the cockpit. If ATC changes your approach at the last minute, the pilots at Sporty's and ForeFlight have made sure that you can find the new plate in just seconds.

Sporty's is launching a year-long celebration in 2011 to mark its 50th anniversary in aviation. Sporty’s was founded in 1961 when Hal Shevers, a young flight instructor, started selling pilot supplies to his students in his spare time. Hal’s first warehouse was the trunk of his car, but Sporty's soon grew, and since then it has become the world leader in aviation education and pilot supplies.
