Four Hundred New Charts Added For More Than 70 Locations And
Enhances Chart Design
Jeppesen recently introduced design enhancements to its
commercial airline overlay (CAO) chart library, and has added 400
new airport/approach charts to the series for more than 70 global
locations to benefit airlines operating worldwide.
The additional 400 airport/approach charts provide commercial
carriers with vital navigational data that will be maintained and
updated per Jeppesen commercial airline overlay chart standards.
The CAO chart library enhancement project also introduces minimum
sector altitude (MSA) data in the “planview” section of
Jeppesen approach charts, enhancing situational awareness in the
cockpit. Minimum sector altitude data also has been retained in the
Briefing Strip section of Jeppesen charts to maintain pilot
familiarity and to accommodate complex minimum sector altitude
procedures.
Enhancements to the CAO chart series were developed as the
result of collaboration with Jeppesen’s commercial aviation
customers over the past year to determine preferred chart use and
design features. Per additional customer request, a new Quick
Reference Chart feature has been added to the Jeppesen CAO series,
beginning with the February 18, 2011 revision cycle.
The new Quick Reference Chart feature will depict an accurate
terminal environment that includes all conventional approach
navigational aid data. To further increase situational awareness
for pilots, the Quick Reference Chart data provides benefits to
meet the unique needs of airline chart customers, including:
- An overview chart
- Chart for alternate locations
- Electronic flight bag (EFB) supporting chart to reduce paper in
the flight deck
- Minimum Sector Altitude (MSA) data in planview section of
charts
- Area navigation (RNAV) Standard Terminal Arrival Route (STAR)
data presented in conjunction with approach procedures information
to the final approach fix (FAF)
- Lowest descent limits for each instrument approach runway
depicted on a single page
- Basic runway information associated by a runway orientation
sketch
- Blank reverse side for adding tailored content such as airline
company procedures
“Our global charting, standards and management teams have
coordinated efforts to add 400 new terminal charts to our
commercial airline series and to provide enhanced chart design
features that are based on customer preferences,” said Tim
Huegel, director, Jeppesen Aviation Portfolio Management.
“This comprehensive chart expansion and enhancement process
provides commercial pilots with increased situational awareness in
the flight deck, through information that is readily accessible and
in the chart locations pilots have requested.”
Jeppesen’s popular CAO charts were developed and
introduced to the commercial aviation marketplace in 2005. The
current enhancements to the series were developed in response to
customer requests for additional specific chart data and increased
coverage of airport locations served by airlines worldwide.
