The climbing flight path along the extended runway centerline which begins at takeoff and continues to at least 1/2 mile beyond the runway's departure end and not less than 300 feet below the traffic pattern altitude. The names of the legs are logical and based on the relative wind as seen looking down a runway facing into the wind.
Runway designations are shown at their respective thresholds. Since the runways are reversible, aircraft traveling on a WNW heading would be (for example) on 28R, but aircraft traveling in the opposite direction (ESE) on the same runway would be on 10L instead. T1 = Terminal 1, with boarding areas B and C; T2 = Terminal 2, with boarding area D
White space around the chart is filled with map information and the legend, scales, and tables of airport and airspace information. Terrain is color-coded for its elevation and major roads, cities, and bodies of water are shown for visual reference, as well as other identifiable structures (e.g., stadiums and water towers ).
