Product Description
The VFR+GPS 1:500.00 chart series simplifies cross-border navigation considerably. Instead of having to contend with different formats and varying styles of information, our VFR+GPS chart series offer standardized chart specification and a unique presentation. Utilization of satellite images and Space Shuttle data also allows high detailed depiction of terrain. Other features include minimum safety altitudes and GPS coordinates for VFR reporting points and airfields.
Overview
Designed for today's pilots using today's navigation tools, our enhanced VFR+GPS charts offer a fresh perspective on what a VFR chart should be with intuitive symbols and colors, better coverage areas and an emphasis on GPS navigation. Whether you fly in North America, Europe or South Africa our VFR+GPS charts will provide you a common format for VFR navigation that is easier to use and easier to read in the air or on the ground.
Over time, the airplanes you fly, the technology you utilize, the skills you possess and the knowledge you apply for safe flight keep getting better. However, with the exception of semi-annual updating, your VFR charts have remained basically unchanged.
Until now.
Jeppesen’s new VFR+GPS Charts offer a fresh perspective on what a VFR chart should be with better use of color and contrast, coverage areas based on the way you fly, intuitive symbols for easier interpretation, and Space Shuttle radar data to more accurately depict terrain. Jeppesen VFR+GPS Charts are easier to use in the cockpit or at the kitchen table, they’re designed to help you get more from your GPS, and they come from one of the most trusted names in aviation..
A better view.
Severe clear is more than a term for sunny skies. It defines the level of clarity that drove Jeppesen to create the next generation of intuitive single-sided, VFR charts that:
Emphasize GPS Navigation—A first in the United States, Jeppesen VFR+GPS Charts enable your paper chart and GPS to work together seamlessly.
Utilize Pilot Input—We asked pilots just like you what they wanted in a new generation VFR chart. The result was better color and contrast; more intuitive symbology; and white space for note-taking, to name just a few.
Reflect How You Fly—Coverage areas are built around popular VFR flight plans; you’re more likely to need fewer charts to get where you’re going.
Work In the Air and On the Ground—Proven JeppGuide® Airport diagrams are on the back of each chart, creating better situational awareness on the ground — day or night.
The future is clear.
A VFR chart is only as good as your trust in the information provided and your ability to quickly interpret and act upon it. For students learning to fly, Jeppesen VFR+GPS Charts are easier to use and read, thanks to a more simplified layout. For instructors, they are easier to use as a teaching aid. And for all aviators, Jeppesen VFR+GPS Charts makes your VFR chart a more effective tool for flight planning, and you a more effective pilot, through enhancements like:
Clear Airspace Boundaries—Easier recognition of controlled airspace with color-coding and clear labels to show airspace class and altitude segments.
GPS Waypoints—They’re spelled-out easily and clearly, making planning flight and flying the plan much easier.
