FOREWORD

The Standards and Recommended Practices SAWS) and explanatory notes contained in Annex

4 eronautical

Charts

define the obligations of States to make available certain ICAO aeronautical chart types, and specify chart

coverage, format, identification and content including standardized symbology and colour use. The goal is to satisfy the

need for uniformity and consistency in the provision of a broad range of aeronautical charts that contain appropriate

information of a defined quality. The aeronautical charts required by all segments of the aviation community can thus

be provided in the form, quality and variety in which they best serve their function.

The purpose of this manual is to explain the obligations of States for providing aeronautical charts and to describe

methods for their production, distribution and maintenance. It is also intended that the manual:

a)

assist both governmental and non-governmental charting agencies in the uniform application of the

SARPs

contained in Annex

4;

b)

promote maximum efficiency in the organization and operation of services providing aeronautical charts; and

c)

assist States in the training of personnel responsible for the production of aeronautical charts.

In the development of the manual some limitation of the contents was necessary. The manual does not generally

cover how informatioddata to be charted is derived before it reaches the cartographer. The manual does, however,

often indicate who or which authority should be supplying the information and provides references to associated

documents. It has been assumed that each State has some cartographic capacity and that it would be unnecessary to

give significant consideration to basic cartographic practices and techniques. Also, techniques specific to particular

cartographic software and hardware are not covered as those elements would be included in the training and

documentation provided by the producers and vendors

of

those products. The scope of the manual is therefore generally

limited

to

those aspects which concern the application of Annex

4

SA WS to aeronautical chart production and chart

distribution.

The manual is published in furtherance

of

Recommendation 11/1 of the Aeronautical Information Services and

Aeronautical Charts Divisional Meeting Montreal, 13 April May 1966), and is published under the authority of the

Secretary General of ICAO. It should be read in conjunction with the latest editions of the following related ICAO

documents

SARPs of Annex 4 and relate to the subsequent sub-paragraphs of the manual. In Chapter 7 the references, reflecting

the Annex 4 provisions concerned are listed in a separate column and are shown opposite the text. The second digit of
