Has anyone been able to create Canadian VFR charts using sas planet and skyvector (or any other source)? How about night versions? Willing to share them?
Petr is helping me with my problems but thought I'd ask in the meantime.

Does anyone know why Canadian VNCs aren't readily available the way US VFR charts are?

Thx, m.

The airspace in Canada is administered by Nav Canada.
From Nav Canada's website:
We are also the world’s first fully privatized civil air navigation service provider, created in 1996 through the combined efforts of commercial air carriers, general aviation, the Government of Canada, as well as our employees and their unions.
Our revenues come from our aviation customers, not government subsidies. By investing in operations and controlling costs, we strive to keep customer charges stable, while improving safety and flight efficiency.
That is the reason maps are not free.
