Low Charts (Chapter 6) Flashcards
If the airport is green or blue it means ?
There is instrument approach procedures
If the airport is brown ?
There are no instrument procedures
When making a IFR flight what should you use ?
VOR radials, victor airways, and intersections
The small numbers under a victor airway represent?
Distances
What is the difference between a distance that is boxed vs one that I not
Boxed = Total victor airway distances from VOR to VOR
Not boxed = distance from VOR to intersection
What is a OROCA?
Off
Route
Obstacle
Clearance
Altitude
1000 feet higher than height of highest obstacle in sectional, tells us altitude you should fly at off route in the area
What is the Z icon on a victor airway
Change over point from one VOR to the Other
The numbers on the change over point show ?
The distance the change should be made
What is a MEA?
Minimum en route IFR altitude
The lowest altitude between radio fixes for signal coverage and obstacle clearance requirements between those fixes.
What is the T break between Victor Airways ?
Change in MEA
Diamond like symbol ?
GPS/ RNAV way point
