Jeppesen Charts
Jeppesen Charts | | charts used by pilots worldwide; they represent a very high quality of cartography. The chart used as a model in Unit 8 Exercise 19a is an arrival chart for an ILS or LOC approach to Runway 16C at Seattle International Airport, Washington State, USA. Different charts exist for each arrival and type of arrival. Other Jeppesen charts include Standard Instrument Departures (SID), airport charts, approach charts, route plotting charts, VFR charts and high level en-route charts for larger regions. Many charts have a validity of only two weeks and must be constantly updated. Electronic charts are becoming more and more common. In addition to the cartographic and flight path information in the middle of the page, the chart contains a wealth of information about the airport and its facilities: radio frequencies, airport elevation, minimum safety altitudes, missed approach points and holdings, location and altitude of obstacles, transition altitudes and levels, RVR, minima etc. | source: ICAO English Pro Aviation Glossary |
