Introduction of objectives and what we will cover during the course.
Explore standard instrument departures (SIDs) on Jeppesen charts, detailing how they provide a public route from runway to the first fix, ATC instructions, and lateral limits.
Explore en-route Jeppesen charts, learning airways, distance between waypoints, MEA and MOCA minima, DME coordinates, compulsory reporting points, GPS waypoints, and the symbol legends for navigation.
Review en-route IFR altitudes for safe flight planning, ensuring navigation signal coverage and obstacle clearance. Identify the minimum altitudes between fixes and the minimum obstacle clearance altitude.
Explore standard arrival routes on Jeppesen's IFR charts, including feeders, transitions, altitude constraints, and fly-by versus fly-over waypoints, guided by ATC and GPS and DME requirements.
Learn how to brief IFR approach plates by examining localizer and glide slope procedures, final approach points, missed approaches, descent profiles, and altitude constraints for runway landings.
Explore symbols and legends on Jeppesen charts and consult the Jepson chart glossary online to expand your knowledge.
This introduction course will provide you with basic/intermediate knowledge of how to interpret and read IFR charts published by the most important air navigation company in the World, Jeppesen. By the end of the course, you will be able to understand basic symbols of SIDs, STARs, and Approach plates. After that, I encourage you to continue studying from the Jeppesen Official Glossary where you will find all the symbols and legends.
