2. Sectional aeronautical chart - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sectional_aeronautical_chart

   In United States aviation, a sectional aeronautical chart, often called a sectional chart or a sectional for short, is a type of aeronautical chart designed for air navigation under visual flight rules (VFR). In Australia, Canada and some other countries, the equivalent charts used for visual flight are called VFR Navigation Charts (VNCs).

3. Terminal area chart - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_area_chart

   FAA-Terminal Area Chart Baltimore-Washington from 2011. Like the VFR sectional charts that they complement, terminal area charts depict topographic features and other information of interest to aviators flying visually, including major landmarks, terrain elevations, visual navigation routes, ground-based navigation aids, airports, rivers, cities, and airspace boundaries.

4. Airport diagram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_diagram

   International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 4 "Aeronautical Charts" Chapter 13 "Aerodrome/Heliport Chart" specifies that the chart "shall provide flight crews with information which information which will facilitate the ground movement of aircraft" between the aircraft stand and the runway. For helicopter movement, the chart shall ...

5. Aeronautical chart - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeronautical_chart

   An aeronautical chart is a map designed to assist in the navigation of aircraft, much as nautical charts do for watercraft, or a roadmap does for drivers. Using these charts and other tools, pilots are able to determine their position, safe altitude, best route to a destination, navigation aids along the way, alternative landing areas in case of an in-flight emergency, and other useful ...

6. Lambert conformal conic projection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_conformal_conic...

   Pilots use aeronautical charts based on LCC because a straight line drawn on a Lambert conformal conic projection approximates a great-circle route between endpoints for typical flight distances. The US systems of VFR (visual flight rules) sectional charts and terminal area charts are drafted on the LCC with standard parallels at 33°N and 45 ...

8. Maximum elevation figure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_Elevation_Figure

   MEF's of 4700 and 3300 feet are shown on this excerpt from the FAA's Los Angeles sectional aeronautical chart. Maximum elevation figure ( MEF ) is a type of visual flight rule (VFR) information that indicates the elevation of the highest geographical feature within a GEOREF quadrangle area.

9. Digital Chart of the World - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Chart_of_the_World

   The primary source for this database is the United States Defense Mapping Agency's (DMA) operational navigation chart (ONC) 1:1,000,000 scale paper map series produced by the US, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. These charts were designed to meet the needs of pilots and air crews in medium-and low-altitude en route navigation and to ...
