6Chart types

Following chart types are included in the new specification:

- AERODROMEgiving an overview of the aerodrome

- GENERALcontaining local regulations in text form

- GROUNDdepicting runways, taxiways, aprons, buildings and stands

- AREAdepicting transition routes and airways in the vicinity of the aerodrome

- RADARgiving minimum altitudes in radar sectors

- SIDor DEPARTUREdepicting standard departure and outbound routes

- STARor ARRIVALdepicting standard arrival and inbound routes

- IACdepicting approach procedures, including minima, for the aerodrome

- Additional Landing Minimato cater for minima that does not fit on IACs due to space

- Radar Proceduresgiving minima for PAR and SRA procedures

All aerodromes do not contain all chart types (eg. when there are no official departure oroutbound routes, no SIDor DEPARTUREwill be issued).

7Numbering of charts

Each chart type is numbered with a combination of a serial number and a page number.

The numbering is centred at the top of the chart, within a box, together with the chart date.

The charts AERODROME, GENERAL and GROUND share serial number 10.

Charts AREA and RADAR share serial number 20.

Charts SID and DEPARTURE share serial number 30.

Charts STAR and ARRIVAL share serial number 40.

Chart IAC has serial number 50.

Charts Additional Landing Minima and Radar Procedures share serial number 51.

8Information outside chart frame

Following information is given outside the chart frame:

Chart number and date (as described on previous page).

Effective date. When a procedure or other information goes into effect. Upper left

part of the chart. Chart designator. Upper left corner.

Country, city and aerodrome name. Also ICAO and IATA coding for the aerodrome.Upper right corner.

Changes made in the chart since last issue. Lower left corner.

Reverse side blank. When back page is empty. Lower right corner.

Copyright and administrative code. Lower left corner.

Procedure design criteria. On IACs only. Along left edge.

The example to the right shows an IAC chart, but the information outside the chart frame isvalid for all chart types (except procedure design criteria ).

10Chart AERODROME

AERODROME chart contains information on the runway system and ground manouvering

areas, lighting facilities and take off minima.

Communication area, showing relevant functions and frequencies. General call-sign in front of first function. Alternate callsign when applicable. A (D) after a func-tion indicates datalink.

Aerodrome data area. Aerodrome elevation, reference point and rescue and fire

fighting category.

Chart. See legend below.

Runway and lighting table with average runway slope, TORA/LDA in metres andfeet, and lighting information. The approach light column gives light intensity anda code letter identifying type of approach light. An explanatory symbol of the ap-proach light is depicted in the chart above.

Take off minima area. The negative print LVP indicates that low visibility proce-dures must be in force in order to use the particular minima.

12Chart GENERAL

GENERAL contains information on local procedures for the aerodrome, such as noiseabatement, preferential runway system, taxiway restrictions etc.The information is compiled under four main headings:

General. Common regulations and information.

Arrival. Regulations and information refering to arriving aircraft.

Departure. Regulations and information refering to departing aircraft.

Company information. Tailored information for a specific customer, with distribu-tion limited to the customer concerned.

When there is not enough information to issue a GENERAL page (e.g. smaller aero-

dromes), the information will be presented on the AERODROME chart under the common

heading General Information.

Chart type GENERAL can be combined (on the same page) with chart type GROUND,called GENERAL / GROUND.

14Chart GROUND

Chart GROUND comprises details of parking stands, taxiway system, traffic blocks, inter-

section take off positions etc. which cannot be shown on the AERODROME chart.Larger airports may require more than one GROUND chart to cover the information, andthen a descriptive text is added to the designator (ex. GROUND Parking, GROUND Cargoterminal, GROUND Overview etc.).

The upper part of the chart always shows relevant functions and frequencies with generalcallsign in front of first function. Alternate callsign when applicable.

16Chart AREA

AREA chart is issued to depict inbound-, outbound- and/or transit routes not covered in

ENC charts. Also AREA charts can be issued for clarity reasons, over congested areaswhere complete information cannot be shown on ENC charts.

The upper part of the chart always shows relevant functions and frequencies with generalcallsign in front of first function. Alternate callsign when applicable.Below the frequency box, to the left, transition level and aerodrome elevation are shown.

20Chart SID

The chart SID describes SIDs in graphic and text form. Several SIDs can be presented on

the same chart.When official departure routes does not have designators, the chart is designated DEPAR-TURE.

The upper part of the chart always shows relevant functions and frequencies with generalcallsign in front of first function. Alternate callsign when applicable.Below the frequency box, to the left, transition altitude and aerodrome elevation are shown.

For customers requiring engine failure procedure, this procedure will be depicted in thechart.

24Chart IAC

Instrument Approach Charts describe official instrument approach procedures in graphic

form. The chart is divided into six main areas of information:

Communication area. Functions and frequencies relevant to the approach phase.

Approach information area, stating main approach aid, final approach track,threshold (or displaced threshold - DTHR) and aerodrome elevation, transitionlevel and transition altitude.

Plan view.

Profile view.

Minima area.

Runway and approach light box. Information on the approach lights, available landing length and additional visual aids such as PAPI, VASIS etc.
