Does anybody have any suggestion or know of any kind of chart protectors for the expandable jeppesen charts? (some airport diagrams and departure/arrivals) i have been looking all over the internet for chart protectors and none of them can hold the expandable charts and those are the ones that always seem to get torn, at least for me. even if it was just a protector that opened from the opposite side of the rings i could unfold the extension when using it and fold it back inside the plastic when in the binder. i'm questioning whether or not this will be possible with this one. http://www.mypilotstore.com/mypilotstore/sep/2424 does anybody use these protectors that can let me know if this will work. or better yet, does anybody have a better suggestion?!?!

The chart protectors in the link you provided open on both sides, so yes, you can cover one page' worth, and fold the remainder over the side. The chart protector is slightly oversized, so you have a few choices.

1) Slide the chart in to the fold, and notice the holes don't align perfectly. Accept the imperfection, even extending the pre-punched holes if necessary.

2) Slide the chart in to align with the holes, and "re"-fold the chart to the width of the chart protector.

3) Trim the width of the chart protector so you can slide the chart in to align with the holes and fold on the factory folds.

I used option 3, and it worked pretty well. It was a little extra work on the front end, but it made chart changes pain-free.

for anybody else out there looking for chart protectors, i bought the ones listed in the link above as well as some from aerovision. the idea was that the aerovision ones would be the best but wouldnt fit the expandable charts so that's why i got the other ones too...turns out the aerovision charts will actually work better for expandable charts than the ones in the link above.

overall, the aerovision charts are the best and most convenient, they are quick release so you dont have to open the rings in your binder every time, and will work best across the board for charts. here is the link for them and this is the cheapest site i could find them on.
