4、erminal charts mainly include standard instrument departure(SID)charts,standard terminal arrival(STAR)charts,instrument approach charts,airport charts and noise abatement charts,etc.On every terminal chart,they maybe includes some information as:Chart Identifier Location Name Chart Index Chart Date
5、Airport Identifier and Name Communication Frequencies Airport Elevation Altimeter Setting Data3.1 Chart IdentifierThe chart identifier in the upper right corner of the Jeppensen terminal chart.It helps pilots quickly identify the correct type of chart(departure,arrival,approach,and so on).Generally,
6、the identifier of standard instrument departure chart is“SID”,and standard instrument arrival chart is“STAR”.In the United States,“DEPARTURE(DP)”represents obstacle departure procedure.Some charts use the designation “RNAV SID”to alert pilots that only aircraft with area navigation equipment can use
7、 this departure.“ARRIVAL”charts reference specific runways,but there is no standardized arrival route code.“RNAV STAR”is used only by aircraft with RNAV equipments.3.2 Location NameThe location name is designed displays in the upper right corner on the terminal chart.In the United States,charts are
8、alphabetized first by sate and the by city.Outside the U.S,charts are alphabetized first by region and then by the name of the city,regardless of the country or province in which the city is located.Airport NameRevision DateIndexEffective DateLocation NameChart IdentifierAirport IdentifierChart Iden

12、black box,specifically indicates when to start using the chart.The effective time is 0901 UTC on effective date.3.5 Airport Identifier and NameThe airport identifier and name are grouped together in the upper left corner of the terminal chart to enable easy confirmation that you have accessed the ri
