602. ENROUTE LOW ALTITUDE CHART

Conterminous United States low altitude airways coverage is provided by 28 charts. The

numbered tabs positioned along the fold of the charts serve a dual purpose. When the charts are

arranged in numerical sequence with the fold up, those missing are readily apparent. If properly

positioned, a desired chart can be quickly selected or refiled. L-27 and-L-28 cover areas of

dense traffic along the east coast and are available by order.

Each chart contains a graphic index of the entire series on the front panel, with its own outline

distinguished by a heavier line (Figure 6-1). Adjacent charts can be identified either by

reference to this index or to the overlap notes positioned around the margin of the chart itself.
