Customer Reviews

Useful only for the most hard core pilots & instructors by Jim Carson
The Aeronautical Chart User’s Guide consists of five parts:

1. Explanation of VFR and IFR terms and symbols 2. Listing of NOAA (now FAA) Aeronautical products 3. Aeronautical Planning Chart Symbols 4. VFR Chart Symbols 5. IFR Chart Symbols

Section 1 provides several pages of interesting background on the charts you’ll use in flying. This is the most generally useful part of the publication, especially the highlight of military training routes and class C. If you want to stump your instructor, ask him or her why the Maximum Elevation Figure (MEF) varies between 0 - 300 feet above the actual highest depicted object on the VFR sectional chart. (For the answer, email me or consult page 4

The remainder of the book is thorough, but most pilots won’t use it becuase 99% of what you’ll need to identify on a chart is listed on that chart’s legend page. Thus, this book is really useful only for the most hard core pilots and instructors.
