• Terminal flight procedures include all procedures
  from departure to landing operations.
• IFR departure, arrival and approach procedures
  are designed according to the criteria
  established by each countrys controlling civil
  aviation administration.
• However, other than obvious differences between
  the charts (for example, units of measure), most
  Jeppesen terminal charts depict common symbology.

4

• Now, there are two types of instrument approach
  procedure criteria in the world.
• FAATerminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS)
• ICAOAircraft Operations-Procedures for Air
  Navigation Procedures Services (PANS-OPS)
• JAAJoint Aviation Regulations Operations (JAR
  OPS)

5

• Terminal charts mainly include standard
  instrument departure (SID) charts, standard
  terminal arrival (STAR) charts, instrument
  approach charts, airport charts and noise
  abatement charts, etc.
• On every terminal chart, they maybe includes some
  information as

• Chart Identifier
• Location Name
• Chart Index
• Chart Date
• Airport Identifier and Name
• Communication Frequencies
• Airport Elevation
• Altimeter Setting Data

3.1 Chart Identifier

• The chart identifier in the upper right corner of
  the Jeppensen terminal chart. It helps pilots
  quickly identify the correct type of chart
  (departure, arrival, approach, and so on).
• Generally, the identifier of standard instrument
  departure chart is SID, and standard instrument
  arrival chart is STAR.

8

• In the United States, DEPARTURE (DP)
  represents obstacle departure procedure. Some
  charts use the designation RNAV SID to alert
  pilots that only aircraft with area navigation
  equipment can use this departure.
• ARRIVAL charts reference specific runways, but
  there is no standardized arrival route code .
  RNAV STAR is used only by aircraft with RNAV
  equipments.

9
3.2 Location Name

• The location name is designed displays in the
  upper right corner on the terminal chart.
• In the United States, charts are alphabetized
  first by sate and the by city.
• Outside the U.S, charts are alphabetized first by
  region and then by the name of the city,
  regardless of the country or province in which
  the city is located.

3.3 Index Number

• The chart index number help pilots to sequence
  and locate charts within the Airway Manual.
  Consisting of three or four alphanumeric
  characters, the chart index number is enclosed in
  an oval at the top of the chart.
• The terminal charts are divided into 0 serial
  charts and approach charts. 0 serial charts
  include area chart, departure chart, arrival
  chart, and airport chart, and so on.

3.4 Chart Date

• The Chart Date may be used to ensure that the
  chart selected is correct and current. Dates are
  expressed in the format of day, month, year.
• Standard chart dates are Friday dates. The chart
  date is the date that identifies the revision
  letters and on the Annual Checklist. Revision
  interval of terminal charts is 7 days or 14 days.
  
• The effective date, shown in white type within
  black box, specifically indicates when to start
  using the chart. The effective time is 0901 UTC
  on effective date.

16
3.5 Airport Identifier and Name

• The airport identifier and name are grouped
  together in the upper left corner of the terminal
  chart to enable easy confirmation that you have
  accessed the right airport within the specific
  city.
• The airport identifier is useful for flight
  planning and communications, and is also used to
  retrieve information in database-driven avionics
  equipment. The three- or four-letter airport
  identifier is a combination of an ICAO regional
  designation and an airports governing agency
  designation.
• The three-letter airport name is designated by
  IATA.

3.6 Communication Frequencies

• Although the types of frequencies that are shown
  on a chart vary, there are several standard
  conventions you may observe in any frequency box
• Arrival, Departure, Approach, Airport, Tower
  control frequencies

19

• Sector control communication frequencies
• An asterisk() in front of the name of a
  frequency indicates that the service is not
  available at all times
• An (R) that follows the frequency type means that
  radar is available for that service.
• ATIS

3.7 Airport Elevation

• Elevations are provided in altitudes above mean
  sea level (MSL). The airport elevation is the
  highest point of an airports usable runways.
• Touchdown zone elevation (TDZE) is the highest
  elevation in the first 3,000 feet of the landing
  surface.

3.8 Altimeter Setting Information

• Altimeter setting information includes altimeter
  setting units, transition level (TL) and
  transition altitude (TA).
