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 ...
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.
A contour chart of scale factors of GS50 projection Maps reflecting directions, such as a nautical chart or an aeronautical chart , are projected by conformal projections. Maps treating values whose gradients are important, such as a weather map with atmospheric pressure , are also projected by conformal projections.

Equal-area Ernst Hammer: Modified from azimuthal equal-area equatorial map. Boundary is 2:1 ellipse. Variants are oblique versions, centred on 45°N. 1994 Strebe 1995: Pseudoazimuthal Equal-area Daniel "daan" Strebe Formulated by using other equal-area map projections as transformations. 1921 Winkel tripel: Pseudoazimuthal Compromise Oswald Winkel
Coordinate surfaces of the conical coordinates. The constants b and c were chosen as 1 and 2, respectively. The red sphere represents r = 2, the blue elliptic cone aligned with the vertical z-axis represents μ=cosh(1) and the yellow elliptic cone aligned with the (green) x-axis corresponds to ν 2 = 2/3.

The central cylindrical projection with a 15° graticule, approximately to latitude ±72°. Distortion is noticeably worse than that of the Mercator projection. The central cylindrical projection formed on photographic film wrapped around a semitransparent globe by shadows cast from a light at its middle
