FIG GEN 3.2.1
Sectional and VFR Terminal Area Charts for the Conterminous U.S.,
Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands
4.1.5 Grand Canyon VFR Aeronautical Chart.
Covers the Grand Canyon National Park area and is designed to promote aviation safety, flight free zones, and facilitate VFR navigation in this popular area. The chart contains aeronautical information for general aviation VFR pilots on one side and commercial VFR air tour operators on the other side.
4.1.6 Helicopter Route Charts. A three.color chart series which shows current aeronautical information useful to helicopter pilots navigating in areas with high concentrations of helicopter activity. Information depicted includes helicopter routes, four classes of heliports with associated frequency and lighting capabilities, NAVAIDs, and obstructions. In addition, pictorial symbols, roads, and easily identified geographical features are portrayed. Helicopter charts have a longer life span than other chart products and may be current for several years. All new editions of these charts are printed on a durable plastic material. Helicopter Route Charts are updated as requested by the FAA. Scale 1 inch = 1.71nm/1:125,000. 34 x 30 inches folded to 5 x 10 inches.
4.2 IFR Navigation Charts
4.2.1 IFR Enroute Low Altitude Charts (Conter-minous U.S. and Alaska). Enroute low altitude charts provide aeronautical information for naviga-tion under IFR conditions below 18,000 feet MSL. This four.color chart series includes airways; limits of controlled airspace; VHF NAVAIDs with frequency, identification, channel, geographic coor-dinates; airports with terminal air/ground commu-nications; minimum enroute and obstruction clearance altitudes; airway distances; reporting points; special use airspace; and military training routes. Scales vary from 1 inch = 5nm to 1 inch = 20nm. 50 x 20 inches folded to 5 x 10 inches. Charts revised every 56 days. Area charts show congested terminal areas at a large scale. They are included with subscriptions to any conterminous U.S. Set Low (Full set, East or West sets). (See FIG GEN 3.2.2 and FIG GEN 3.2.4.)

FIG GEN 3.2.3
Enroute High Altitude Charts for the Conterminous U.S.
4.2.2 IFR Enroute High Altitude Charts (Conter-minous U.S. and Alaska). Enroute high altitude charts are designed for navigation at or above 18,000 feet MSL. This four.color chart series includes the jet route structure; VHF NAVAIDs with frequency,
identification, channel, geographic coordinates;
selected airports; reporting points. Scales vary from
1 inch = 45nm to 1 inch = 18nm. 55 x 20 inches folded
to 5 x 10 inches. Revised every 56 days.
(See FIG GEN 3.2.3 and FIG GEN 3.2.5.)

4.2.3 U.S. Terminal Procedures Publication (TPP). TPPs are published in 24 loose.leaf or perfect bound volumes covering the conterminous U.S., Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. A Change Notice is published at the midpoint between revisions in bound volume format and is available on the internet for free download at the NACO web site. (See FIG GEN 3.2.10.) The TPPs include:
4.2.3.1 Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP) Charts. IAP charts portray the aeronautical data that is required to execute instrument approaches to airports. Each chart depicts the IAP, all related navigation data, communications information, and an airport sketch. Each procedure is designated for use with a specific electronic navigational aid, such as ILS, VOR, NDB, RNAV, etc.
4.2.3.2 Instrument Departure Procedure (DP) Charts. DP charts are designed to expedite clearance delivery and to facilitate transition between takeoff and en route operations. They furnish pilots’ departure routing clearance information in graphic and textual form.
4.2.3.3 Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR) Char-ts. STAR charts are designed to expedite ATC arrival procedures and to facilitate transition between en route and instrument approach operations. They depict preplanned IFR ATC arrival procedures in graphic and textual form. Each STAR procedure is presented as a separate chart and may serve either a single airport or more than one airport in a given geographic area.
4.2.3.4 Airport Diagrams. Full page airport dia-grams are designed to assist in the movement of ground traffic at locations with complex runway/taxi-way configurations and provide information for updating geodetic position navigational systems aboard aircraft. Airport diagrams are available for free download at the NACO website.
