3.2.4.2

 

General description of each series

 

 

 

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

facilitate the ground movement of aircraft:

 

-from the aircraft stand to the runway; and

 

-from the runway to the aircraft stand;

 

 

 

and helicopter movement:

 

-from the helicopter stand to the touchdown and lift-off area and to the final

approach and take- off area;

 

-from the final approach and take-off area to the touchdown and lift-off area and to

the helicopter stand;

 

-along helicopter ground and air taxiways; and

 

-along air transit routes.

 

 

 

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

the Aerodrome/Heliport Chart - ICAO.

 

 

 

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

Chart - ICAO.

 

 

 

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,

Parts I and II, Chapter 5.

 

 

 

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

mass.

 

 

 

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

AOC - ICAO - Type C.

 

 

 

This chart is not produced if:

 

 

 

-the required obstacle data is included in the AIP; or

 

-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

precision approach Cat II and III runways.

 

 

 

i) En-route Chart - ICAO. This chart is produced for the entire Curaçao FIR. The

aeronautical data include all aerodromes, prohibited, restricted and danger areas

and the air traffic services system in detail. The chart provides the flight crew with information that will facilitate navigation along ATS routes in compliance with air

traffic services procedures.

 

 

 

j) Area Chart - ICAO. This chart is produced when the air traffic services routes or

position reporting requirements are complex and cannot be shown on an En-route

Chart - ICAO.

 

 

 

It shows, in more detail, those aerodromes that affect terminal routings,

prohibited, restricted and danger areas and the air traffic services system. This

chart provides the flight crew with information that will facilitate the following

phases of instrument flight:

 

 

 

-the transition between the en-route phase and the approach to an aerodrome;

 

-the transition between the take-off/missed approach and the en-route phase of

flight; and

 

-flights through areas of complex ATS routes or airspace structure.

 

 

 

k) Standard Departure Chart - Instrument (SID) - ICAO. This chart is produced

whenever a standard departure route - instrument has been established and cannot

be shown with sufficient clarity on the Area Chart - ICAO.

 

 

 

The aeronautical data shown include the aerodrome of departure, aerodrome(s)

which affect the designated standard departure route - instrument, prohibited,

restricted and danger areas and the air traffic services system. This chart provides

the flight crew with information that will enable them to comply with the

designated standard departure route - instrument from the take-off phase to the en

route phase.

 

 

 

l) Standard Arrival Chart - Instrument (STAR) - ICAO. This chart is produced

whenever a standard arrival route -instrument has been established and cannot be

shown with sufficient clarity on the Area Chart - ICAO.

 

 

 

The aeronautical data shown include the aerodrome of landing, aerodrome(s)

which affect the designated standard arrival route - instrument, prohibited,

restricted and danger areas and the air traffic services system. This chart provides

the flight crew with information that will enable them to comply with the

designated standard arrival route - instrument from the en-route phase to the

approach phase.

 

 

 

m) Instrument Approach Chart - ICAO. This chart is produced for all aerodromes

used by civil aviation where instrument approach procedures have been

established. A separate Instrument Approach Chart - ICAO has been provided for

each approach procedure.

 

 

 

The aeronautical data shown include information on aerodromes, prohibited,

restricted and danger areas, radio communication facilities and navigation aids,

minimum sector altitude, procedure track portrayed in plan and profile view,

aerodrome operating minima, etc.

 

 

 

This chart provides the flight crew with information that will enable them to

perform an approved instrument approach procedure to the runway of intended

landing including the missed approach procedure and where applicable, associated

holding patterns.

 

 

 

n) Visual Approach Chart - ICAO. This chart is produced for aerodromes used by

civil aviation where:

 

 

 

-only limited navigation facilities are available; or

 

-radio communication facilities are not available; or

 

-no adequate aeronautical charts of the aerodrome and its surroundings at

1:500000 or greater scale are available; or

 

-visual approach procedures have been established.

 

 

 

The aeronautical data shown include information on aerodromes, obstacles,

designated airspace, visual approach information, radio navigation aids and

communication facilities, as appropriate.
