Aeronautical chart on Lambert conformal conic projection with standard parallels at 33°N and 45°N. A Lambert conformal conic projection (LCC) is a conic map projection used for aeronautical charts, portions of the State Plane Coordinate System, and many national and regional mapping systems.
Lambert conformal conic: Conic Conformal Johann Heinrich Lambert: Used in aviation charts. 1805 Albers conic: Conic Equal-area Heinrich C. Albers: Two standard parallels with low distortion between them. c. 1500: Werner: Pseudoconical Equal-area, equidistant Johannes Stabius: Parallels are equally spaced concentric circular arcs.
Most state plane zones are based on either a transverse Mercator projection or a Lambert conformal conic projection. The choice between the two map projections is based on the shape of the state and its zones. States that are long in the east–west direction are typically divided into zones that are also long east–west.
There are several projections used in maps carrying the name of Johann Heinrich Lambert: Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection (preserves areas) Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection (preserves areas) Lambert conformal conic projection (preserves angles, commonly used in aviation navigation maps) Lambert equal-area conic projection ...
Lambert conformal conic projection. Oblique conformal conic projection (This projection is sometimes used for long-shaped regions, like as continents of Americas or Japanese archipelago.) Stereographic projection (Conformal azimuthal projection. Every circle on the earth is drawn as a circle or a straight line on the map.)
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.
Albers conic, which adjusts the north-south distance between non-standard parallels to compensate for the east-west stretching or compression, giving an equal-area map. Lambert conformal conic, which adjusts the north-south distance between non-standard parallels to equal the east-west stretching, giving a conformal map.
Simplified view of contiguous US UTM zones, projected with Lambert conformal conic. The UTM system divides the Earth into 60 zones, each 6° of longitude in width. Zone 1 covers longitude 180° to 174° W; zone numbering increases eastward to zone 60, which covers longitude 174°E to 180°.
