  2. 3.02 Using Charts • MTPs: • Using Aeronautical Charts • Types of Charts • Symbols on Charts • Measuring Distance • Tracks and Bearings

  3. Using Aeronautical Charts • How charts differ from maps: • Control Zones • Aerodrome Information • Ground Elevation • Lines of Variation • Airspace Information • Communication/ Navigation Aids

  4. 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)

  5. Symbols on Charts • Charts: • Where to find the chart legend • How to interpret symbols

  17. 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
