JEPPESEN CHARTS
Jeppesen Sanderson Inc publishes aviation documents as prescribed by the
applicable authority of the state and promulgated. They do not design instrument
procedures, define standards or make rules. They simply reproduce the relevant material.
Following sections describe important symbols
and their usage in HIGH/LOW ENROUTE CHARTS.
One of these charts is displayed here.

The scale of the


chart is stated on the
front panel on top on
both sides.

These charts are revised when required.

Each sheet covers certain area. Area covered


by two faces of the sheet are highlighted by thick
border on the map background as shown on the right
(7 and 8).

Changes affected since the last revision are


listed at the bottom of the front panel.

A unique Zigdex feature enables the user to unfold the chart as the flight progresses,
like turning the pages of a book. Name of a major city is visible on each panel to identify
where to unfold the chart.
