3.02 Using Charts
• MTPs:– Using Aeronautical Charts– Types of Charts– Symbols on Charts– Measuring Distance– Tracks and Bearings
Using Aeronautical Charts
• How charts differ from maps:• Control Zones• Aerodrome Information• Ground Elevation• Lines of Variation• Airspace Information• Communication/ Navigation Aids
Types of Charts
• VNC (VFR Navigation Chart):– Lambert Conformal Conic Projection, 1:500 000 scale– Used to enable visual navigation (lower level, low
speed)• VTA (VFR Terminal Area Chart):
– Transverse Mercator Projection, 1: 50 000 scale– Used to illustrate landmarks, call points, and control
zones in a terminal area (e.g. Vancouver)• WAC (World Aeronautical Chart):
– Lambert Conformal Conic Projection, 1:1 000 000 scale
– Designed for visual navigation (higher levels, greater speed)
Symbols on Charts
• Charts:– Where to find the chart legend– How to interpret symbols

Measuring Distance
• To Measure Distance on a Chart– Use ruler and chart scale

Tracks and Bearings
• Track:– Proposed path over the
ground• Track Made Good:
– Actual path over the ground
• Track Error:– Angle between track and
track made good• Bearing:
– The direction or angle from one point to another
