A World Aeronautical Chart (WAC) was a type of aeronautical chart used for navigation by pilots of moderate speed aircraft and aircraft at high altitudes in the United States. They are at a scale of 1:1,000,000 (about 1 inch = 13.7 nautical miles or 16 statute miles).
A common example of a moving map display today is the map display on a smart phone or tablet screen, with an app using GPS to determine the device's current position and display it on map data from the device's internal storage or from the Internet in real time. This use of phones and tablets has expanded very rapidly for navigation in car ...

For helicopter movement, the chart shall ...
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 ...
