2. Victor airways - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_airways

   Victor airways are depicted as black solid lines on IFR Low-Altitude Enroute charts and as thick faded blue lines on VFR Terminal and Sectional Area charts. They are identified by a number, similar to an interstate highway (for example, a pilot could say that he/she is "flying Victor Eight").

3. Sectional aeronautical chart - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sectional_aeronautical_chart

   Sectional charts are in 1:500,000 scale and are named for a city on the map. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States publishes over 50 charts covering the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. Sectional charts are published by the National Aeronautical Navigation Services Group of the FAA.

4. Aeronautical chart conventions (United States) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeronautical_chart...

   A sectional chart is a two-sided chart created from a Lambert Conformal Conic Projection [1] with two defined standard parallels. The scale is 1:500,000, with a contour interval of 500 feet. The size of each sectional is designed to be "arm's width" when completely unfolded.

5. Airway (aviation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airway_(aviation)

   Low altitude airways (below 18,000 feet (5,500 m) MSL) that are based on VOR stations, appear on sectional charts, world aeronautical charts, and en route low altitude charts and are designated with the prefix "V" (pronounced victor, hence, victor airways). Victor airways are usually assigned odd route numbers for north-south routes and even ...

6. 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 ...

7. Non-directional beacon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-directional_beacon

   In this fashion, NDBs can, like VORs, define airways in the sky. Aircraft follow these pre-defined routes to complete a flight plan. Airways are numbered and standardized on charts. Colored airways are used for low to medium frequency stations like the NDB and are charted in brown on sectional charts.

8. En-route chart - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En-route_chart

   An en-route (also known as en route [1] or enroute [2]) chart provides detailed information useful for instrument flight, including information on radionavigation aids (navaids) such as VORs and NDBs, navigational fixes (waypoints and intersections), standard airways, airport locations, minimum altitudes, and so on.

9. Airspace class - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airspace_class

   The airspace is charted on a VFR sectional chart with a series of blue lines. Within these blue lines, the floor and the ceiling of the Class B airspace is defined. The lateral boundaries of Class B airspace are individually tailored to facilitate arriving and departing traffic operating under IFR.
