Welcome to the third edition of the [[FlightGear]] Newsletter. This Due to the vacation of the editor, this edition is still being written, so feel free to contribute,a bit later than we would like.
The newsletter is still a bit thin on contributions, so if you'd like to contribute, please feel free to log onto the wiki and start editing the next edition [[FlightGear Newsletter October 2009| here]]. We're still looking for a permanent (or even a temporary) newsletter editor, so if you'd like to get involved, have a look on the [http://www.flightgear.org/forums/ Forums].

These are published in the public domain by the FAA, but the default format of a PDF file for each page is a real pain to deal with. This website allows you to download all the plates for a given state or area as a single PDF with sensible ordering.
