Designed for pre-flight planning as well as pilotage, these charts are constructed using Lambert’s conformal conic projection and conform to ICAO specifications. 3.2.8 Aerodrome and approach charts
Flight Level. Areas activated by NOTAM are shown with a broken boundary line. Low Level Corridor or Special Route.................................................................................................
Flight Level (FL) A surface of constant atmosphere pressure which is related to a specific pressure datum, 1013.2hPa, and is separated from other such surfaces by specific pressure intervals. Altitude above sea-level in 100 feet units measured according to a standard atmosphere.
PERFORMANCE DATA. The performance or operational information section of the Airplane Flight Manual/Pilot’s Operating Handbook (AFM/POH) contains the operating data for the airplane; that is, the data pertaining to takeoff, climb, range, endurance, descent, and landing.
Introduction: An altimeter is a type of barometer which measures the vertical distance to the surface, necessary for a pilot to maintain the desired or assigned altitude during flight. Maintaining a current altimeter setting is critical because the atmosphere pressure is never constant.
VFR Charts. The Aeronautical Charts & Data function, under licence from the CAA, control the scheduled production of maps and charts for both the Visual Flight Rules (VFR) series and the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP).
With Standard Pressure (1013.2 mb) set, an aircraft altimeter indicates Pressure Altitude (Flight Level), and is used by all aircraft operating above the transition altitude to provide a common datum for vertical measurement.
