What Star Charts?
Not Standard Terminal Arrivals charts but charts that tell you what you are looking at in the night sky. Does anybody have a good recommendation of one small enough to fit into my flight kit?

When I was based at IAD, I went to the Smithsonian shop there and bought a little round one that would fit into my kit. Gave me 10% off because I was in uniform, around $15, I think. You should be able to get one from their online store also.

I have a Palm Treo and installed an application called "Planetarium" on it. It took a little time to get used to it, but it's been perfect for my purposes. You can download and try it out at Planetarium for the Palm Computing Platform and see if you like it.
