Chapter Five Enroute High Altitude Chart

CHAPTER FIVE

ENROUTE HIGH ALTITUDE CHART

500. INTRODUCTION

This unit of instruction introduces information concerning Enroute High Altitude Charts which

cover the airspace at and above 18,000 feet MSL. This information is provided on six separate

charts with the scale of each printed along the upper and lower borders of the individual chart.

The charts are published every eight weeks to coincide with the Instrument Approach

Procedures. The legend tells everything about the chart which is broken into four sections:

Airports;

Radio Aids to Navigation;

Air Traffic Services and Airspace Information; and

Special Use Airspace.

By using the legend along with the charts, aircrews have a road map of the sky to guide them

accurately and safely to their destination.

This unit interfaces with all flights at VT-10/4. The final performance check will be the end-of-

course examination.
