Aerodrome (AD) Charts
Aerodrome charts provide detailed information about an airport, including runway layouts, taxiways, and airport facilities. They are essential for ground navigation and understanding the airport's infrastructure.
Standard Instrument Departure (SID) Charts
Standard Instrument Departure charts provide pilots with a pre-planned IFR route to follow upon departure from an airport. SIDs are used to ensure a safe and orderly flow of traffic and to help pilots navigate around obstacles and other air traffic.
Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR) Charts
Standard Terminal Arrival charts are used by pilots to navigate from the en-route phase of their flight to a point where they can begin an approach to a specific runway. STARs help to ensure a smooth and orderly flow of traffic into busy airports.
Instrument Approach Procedure (APP) Charts
Instrument Approach Procedure charts provide pilots with a detailed, step-by-step guide for landing at an airport in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). These charts include information on altitudes, headings, and other critical data to ensure a safe landing.
