The briefing strip is great. It's all right there at the top, where as the naco plates, you have to start from the top and really work you're way to the bottom to get the full brief. I like the Jep, and if you can get your hands on some, get them. The only thing I like about the Naco charts, is the airport diagram. My Jep plates dont have that for each approach. It's nice when you want to know the lighting, TDZE, etc..w/out having to look at the seperate airport diagram sheet.

I agree 100%. I find it amazing how much stuff I'm "missing" unless I read the whoooole chart now. With the Jepp charts, I could do 90% of the approach looking at only the briefing strip. The airport diagram is missing, but to me that isn't a big deal since that's all part of my briefing. I check the diagram (even with NACO charts) to decide where I'm turning, which direction, etc..

Nah...I let the company buy me charts. I wouldn't spend a dime on those NACO books.
For "non company" flights, I use JeppView (electronic charts) on an EFB.
Like most things, it's personal preference.
