Study Notes
Aeronautical Charts
- The purpose of an aeronautical chart is to provide pilots with essential information for safe and efficient flight planning.
- Pilots use aeronautical charts to determine several factors, including topography, terrain elevation, atmospheric conditions, and potential hazards along the flight route.
Chart Scales
- World Aeronautical Charts (WACs) have a scale of 1:1,000,000 (1 cm on the chart represents 10 km or 6.3 miles).
- Sectional charts have a scale of 1:500,000 (1 cm on the chart represents 5 km or 3.1 miles).
Operational Navigation Charts (ONC)
- The purpose of operational navigation charts (ONC) is to provide detailed information for navigation, particularly during long-range flights.
