Navigraph the only option?

[MachTuck]

What are all of the options for FMC database updates? are there any free resources?

thanks in advance!

There are no free resources for navdata updates. Aerosoft is the other option and the price is the same. My advice is to buy one year subscription (~30$) so the price per cycle is quite low. Another option to add value to the package is to buy the combo navdata+charts service (Jeppesen/Navigraph or Lido/Aerosoft) and you'll get a discount for the combo. In my view this is money well spent.

Agree, flying without charts is a pain.

you can also just buy one update every half year or so. that usually works also quite good if you are hardpressed for money

Aerosoft is your other option.
