Chart Construction. If more than one chart is required, trim the margins from the charts and

tape them together. It is recommended that you tape the backside of the charts. Tape on the

front will interfere with drawing the course lines and other information. Draw the route using an

indelible, black, fine point marker. Once drawn, information can be highlighted using colored

highlighter markers. Use red markers to identify MSA and emergency information on the charts.

Using the information in the Tactical Aircrew Flimsy, Route Way Point Library, locate the

Drop Zone (DZ) and the Initial Point (IP). Using the TAC Plotter, mark these locations IAW

Figure 1-5 of this FTI.

Draw a line connecting the IP and DZ. Do not mark inside the square or the triangle.

Locate the remainder of the turnpoints, including the escape route, using the Way Point

Library and mark IAW Figure 1-5.

Draw a line connecting the first and second points, again not marking inside the circles.

All other turnpoints will be made using the radius-of-turn technique.

Using the TAC Plotter, find the radius-of-turn circle that would approximate 180 kts

at 30. This will vary depending upon which plotter is used and the scale of the chart.

Draw the line from the tangent of the arc to the next turnpoint. Do not draw inside

the circles. Erase any pencil marks used for the radius-of-turn.

Continue this process for all the turnpoints leading to the IP.

Using the proper scale along the TAC Plotter straight edge, draw mileage distance

marks along the left side of each course leg. Mileage numbers start at the total

mileage of each leg and count down to zero from one turnpoint to the next indicating

distance-to-go.
