The Dutch Caribbean Air Navigation Service Provider of the Curaçao FIR provides a wide range of aeronautical charts for use by all types of civil aviation. The Aeronautical Information Service is responsible for the production the charts which are part of the AIP; all other aeronautical charts are produced by the Department of Surveys. Charts, suitable for pre-flight planning and briefing, selected from those listed in the ICAO Aeronautical Chart Catalogue (Doc 7101), are available for reference at aerodrome AIS units. (Their addresses can be found under paragraph 3 below). The charts are produced in accordance with the provisions contained in ICAO Annex 4 - Aeronautical Charts. Differences to these provisions are detailed in subsection GEN 1.7. | |
The aeronautical charts included in the AIP are kept up to date by amendments to the AIP. Corrections to aeronautical charts not contained in the AIP are promulgated by AIP Amendments and are listed under 8. of this subsection. Information concerning the planning for or issuance of new maps and charts is notified by Aeronautical Information Circular. | |
If incorrect information detected on published charts is of operational significance, it is corrected by NOTAM | |
The charts as listed under 5. of this subsection may be obtained either from the: | |

The Dutch Caribbean Air Navigation Service Provider, the Aeronautical Information Service have copies of the ICAO Aeronautical Chart Catalogue (Doc7101) where all aeronautical charts or chart series produced by this and other countries are listed, and known to be generally available to civil aviation. | |

The charts currently available are listed under #6. of this subsection. | |
a) World Aeronautical Chart - ICAO 1:1 000 000. This series is constructed on Lambert Conical Orthomorphic Projection up to 80°N and the Polar Stereographic Projection between 80°N and 90°N with the scales matching at 80°N. The aeronautical data shown have been kept to a minimum, consistent with the use of the chart for visual air navigation. It includes a selection of aerodromes, significant obstacles, elements of the ATS system, prohibited, restricted and danger areas, and radio navigation aids. The chart provides information to satisfy visual air navigation and is also used as a pre-flight planning chart. | |
b) Plotting Chart - ICAO. This series, covering the North Atlantic, Western Europe and North Africa, is designed for in-flight long-range navigation and is constructed on Mercator's projection with simple outline of land areas at a scale of 1:5 000 000. Aeronautical data consist of major international aerodromes, selected radio navigation aids, lattices of long-range electronic aids to navigation, FIR, CTA, CTR, reporting points, etc. The chart is designed to provide a means of maintaining a continuous flight record of the aircraft position. | |
c) Aerodrome/Heliport Chart - ICAO. This chart contains detailed aerodrome/heliport data to provide flight crews with information that will | |
-from the helicopter stand to the touchdown and lift-off area and to the final | |
-from the final approach and take-off area to the touchdown and lift-off area and to | |
It also provides essential operational information at the aerodrome/heliport. | |
d) Aerodrome Ground Movement Chart - ICAO. This chart is produced for those aerodromes where, due to congestion of information, details necessary for the ground movement of aircraft along the taxiways to and from the aircraft stands and for the parking/ docking of aircraft cannot be shown with sufficient clarity on | |
e) Aircraft Parking/Docking Chart - ICAO. This chart is produced for those aerodromes where, due to the complexity of the terminal facilities, the information to facilitate the ground movement of aircraft between the taxiways and the aircraft stands and the parking/docking of aircraft cannot be shown with sufficient clarity on the Aerodrome/Heliport Chart - ICAO or on the Aerodrome Ground Movement | |
f) Aerodrome Obstacle Chart - ICAO - Type A (operating limitations). This chart contains detailed information on obstacles in the take-off flight path areas of aerodromes. It is shown in plan and profile view. This obstacle information, in combination with an Obstacle Chart - ICAO - Type C, provides the data necessary to enable an operator to comply with the operating limitations of ICAO Annex 6, | |
g) Aerodrome Obstacle Chart - ICAO - Type C. This chart contains obstacle data necessary to enable an operator to develop procedures to comply with the operating limitations of ICAO Annex 6, Parts I and II, Chapter 5, with particular reference to information on obstacles that limit the maximum permissible take-off | |
This chart must provide certain obstacle data and topographical information covering a distance of 45 km (24 NM) from the aerodrome reference point. | |
Appropriate topographical charts which are available for the area around the airports, if supplemented with "overprint" obstacle data and other significant aeronautical information, should be suitable for use as the topographic base for the | |
-no significant obstacles exist, and this fact is included in the AIP. | |
h) Precision Approach Terrain Chart - ICAO. This chart provides detailed terrain profile information within a defined portion of the final approach so as to enable aircraft operating agencies to assess the effect of the terrain on decision height determination by the use of radio altimeters. This chart is produced for all | |
i) En-route Chart - ICAO. This chart is produced for the entire Curaçao FIR.
