Understanding Charts
Most of the airports represented in the airport list or RoutePack list have charts associated
with them (some VFR airports do not have charts). These charts may include airport, airspace,
arrival, departure, qual, noise, approach, and text (special or custom notes). Future, obsolete,
and temporary charts may also be included in the list.
"Also Serves" are "10" charts that deal with SIDs and STARs. Also Serves are only displayed
for the "10" primary airports. For example, the "Also Serves" charts for airport KAPA, are only
found with the primary airport KDEN.
To view the list of charts for an airport, do any of the following in the airport list:
• Enter the airport ICAO or IATA identification in the airport list search text box.
• Click the plus sign (+) to the left of the airport ID to expand the list.
• Double-click an airport.
• Click the Terminal Charts tab, and click any chart in the airport list or RoutePack list.
• While not in the Terminal Charts tab, double-click the chart in the airport list or RoutePack
list.
airport has VFR charts, you can distinguish between the different charts by the color; blue
icons are IFR, green icons are VFR, and purplish icons are custom PDF charts.
• Changes effective immediately upon receipt—Most chart changes fall into this category.
When an airport is expanded in the airport list to reveal its charts, the dates seen in the City
column are revision dates, not to be confused with an effective date.
• Changes that become effective mid-cycle on a specified date—Jeppesen charts use an
effective date if a chart is issued before it can be used. In this situation, you should
continue to use the previous chart until the effective date. When an airport is expanded in
the airport list to reveal its charts, you will see the current chart and the future effective
chart. The future chart has a green symbol on the icon to represent future effectivity and
displays information about when it will become effective.
On the chart heading you will also see the revision date and the effective date. [Figure 14:] If
there is no effective date, you may use the chart upon receipt.
When a Trip Kit is printed before a chart is effective, it prints both the current and the future
effective chart. For example, on the effective date at 0901 GMT, the old chart is expired
marking it obsolete with a red dot. The software displays the new chart as the current one. The
red dot disappears the next time you update your charts.
When an airport is expanded in the airport list to reveal its charts, you will see the current chart
and the future effective chart. The future chart has a green symbol on the icon to represent
future effectivity and displays information about when it will become effective. On the chart
heading, you will also see the revision date and the effective date. If there is no effective date,
use the chart upon receipt.
Scrolling
To scroll the window in the charts view, point to the edge or corner of the charts view window.
The mouse pointer turns into an arrowhead. Hold down the mouse button to auto pan. The
chart view continues scrolling until the mouse button is released.
Zooming
To zoom on a chart, do any of the following:
• Click Enroute > Zoom In or Enroute > Zoom Out or Enroute > Max Zoom Out.
• Press the plus (+) and minus (–) keys to zoom in and zoom out.
• Use the mouse drag zoom box.
These commands only work with geo-referenced charts, and are not available for airspace,
arrival, departure, or noise charts.

enroute chart.
1. Click File > New RoutePack or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Q.
2. In the File Name drop-down combo box select a RoutePack to modify, or in this case, enter
a name for the RoutePack you are creating. For this example name the RoutePack KPDX
to KLMT.
3. Click Save.
4. On the New RoutePack dialog box click Add Route – Text.
5. In the Enter Route Text box, enter the following text:
KPDX..BTG.V23.OED.V122.LMT..KLMT
6. Click OK.
Airways are separated by a single period (dot), as are SIDs and STARs. Two dots means
connect direct without an airway. For instance, KADW..ETAR denotes that the two airports are
to be connected directly without using an airway.
A route can also consist of waypoints. For instance, the example from step 5, without airports,
would look like the following using the single dot “airway connect” notation.
BTG.V23.OED.V122.LMT
In this example, you cannot omit waypoint OED because airways connect through established
navaids. An airway item cannot exist in the route list without valid entry and exit waypoints.
Modifying a Route
Once a route is created, you can modify it in a number of different ways.
You do not have to drag the route to an existing waypoint. If you drag it to a location that is not
an airport, navaid, or intersection a new waypoint is created where you release the mouse
button. The new waypoint appears on the RoutePack list and the enroute chart redraws to
reflect the new route waypoint.
To change (not insert) a waypoint using the rubber band method, grab the route line at a
waypoint and drag it off that waypoint to a new waypoint.
Reordering Waypoints
Waypoints can be moved into a different order by clicking and dragging in either the
RoutePack, or the route line on the enroute chart.
Inserting Waypoints
Once a route has been created, additional airports and waypoints can be inserted into the
route and existing waypoints can be changed.
1. Right click the airport and click Add Airport Terminal Charts to.
2. If all of the charts do not need to be added, expand the airport list and select only the charts
to add. If there is more than one route, select the route to which the charts are to be added.
Route Delete
Completely removes the entire route and all of the route sub-items.
With multiple routes in the same RoutePack, the route with a check mark is shown on the
enroute chart. If the box is not selected, the route is hidden, or not shown. An active route
cannot be hidden (the box cannot be cleared).
Alternate Route
You can add alternate routes to a Primary Route or from any waypoint or airport in a route to
an alternate airport or other user defined waypoint. An alternate route is stored in the
RoutePack structure. Alternate routes can be cut and copied as well as being dragged and
dropped. Alternate routes can be pasted to a route if it has an airport identical to the first
alternate airport. Alternate routes can be moved using drag and drop the same way as they
can be pasted. An alternate route being cut will only be removed when successfully pasted.
You cannot delete the first airport in an alternate route.
1. Right-click on the route destination airport ICAO identifier BIKF and click Plan Alternate
for or click Route > Plan Alternate.
2. In the Plan Alternate dialog box, from the Alternate Type group, select Destination
Alternate.
3. Enter the ICAO designation for Reykjavik, which is BIRK. Because Keflavik is an alternate,
select all search options, and set the Search Radius to 100 NM.
4. Click Search. BIRK (REYKJAVIK) is added to the alternate list. At this point you could keep
adding alternate airports, but for this example, click OK.
5. The alternate airport is added to the destination airport of the Primary Route. To remove an
alternate, right-click and click Delete Alternate.
In the airport list the column marked with a briefcase is the Add to RoutePack column.
This column applies to the currently active RoutePack, and is always the parent RoutePack of
the currently active route, and is indicated in boldface type. The check box next to each chart
in the airport list indicates if that chart is present anywhere in the RoutePack.
• Has a dark check mark if all of that airport's charts are in the RoutePack.
• Has a gray check mark if some of the airport's charts are in the RoutePack.
• Has no check mark if none of the charts are found anywhere in the RoutePack.
If you select a check box next to a chart, that chart is added to every occurrence of its parent
airport in the RoutePack. If its parent airport is not in the RoutePack, it is added to the Other
Airports folder. If you clear a check box next to a chart, every occurrence of that chart is
removed from the RoutePack, including any occurrence of that chart in the Other Airports
folder. If you select or clear a check box next to an airport, it is the same as selecting or
clearing a chart, except the operation will apply to every chart belonging to that airport.
Setting Filters
To filter charts for a route:
1. Open the Detailed Chart Filter Settings dialog box (see Filtering Terminal Charts on
page 40).
2. Select or clear the desired charts.
3. Click OK.
Although terminal chart preferences have been set for future RoutePacks, they have not yet
been applied to the current RoutePack list. To apply these preferences to the current
RoutePack, continue with the next topic.
1. Right-click a RoutePack or a route in the RoutePack list to which you want to apply the
filter.
2. Select Reset Charts to Chart Filters.
The selected item now contains only the types of charts selected in the Detailed Chart Filter
Settings dialog box.
1. Expand the RoutePack and the airport to display all the charts.
2. Select one or more charts.
3. Do one of the following:
• Right-click on a selected chart and select Delete.
• Press the Delete key.
1. In the airport list, click the Add to RoutePack column marked with a briefcase. This is one
way to find the airports associated to your route since all your airports in the RoutePack are
automatically selected in the airport list. Once you click the column heading, you will have
to scroll to the top or bottom of the list depending on how your list is sorted.
2. For the airport you want to remove charts from, expand the list to display all the charts.
Next to each chart, each check box is selected in the Add to RoutePack column because
they are currently displaying in the route.
3. By clearing the check box next to a chart, it removes the chart from the route.
Flight Planning
Flight Planning is used to modify Routes. For example, the route KWRI-KADW as shown
below [Figure 18:] will be modified using Flight Planning.
Click the route line to select it. The route line changes color when selected as shown in Figure
19:.
Click on KLNS, select the airport and click OK. The waypoint is appended as shown in Figure
21:.
To stop appending waypoints select Route > Edit > Append Waypoints or Stop Appending
Waypoints.
6. Click OK. As a result of adding the KLNS waypoint, the route is changed as shown in
Figure 23:.
Setup Tab
The Setup tab has the following options:
Regions Tab
Use the Regions tab to change the regions where weather is collected. On this tab you can
also limit the number of regions to reduce the amount of data that is downloaded to your
computer from the Jeppesen weather servers.
Status Tab
The Status tab is used to confirm the status of receiving weather products from the Jeppesen
weather servers. You can also stop and start the Jeppesen Weather Controller (JWC) using
this dialog. [Figure 25:]
When weather products are downloading the download indicator will rotate. After the weather
products are downloaded, and even when they are downloading in the background, it will
become a green static icon. A static gray indicator means a connection has been lost.
In case the Jeppesen Weather Controller (JWC) service has been stopped for any reason, you
can start it by:
If the selected weather product is dimmed, it means that no data has been downloaded for that
weather product. The text label will turn black when data for that weather type has been
downloaded. Depending on download speeds, this may take a little time. If the text does not
turn black within a few minutes, this could be because there is no data reaching the Jeppesen
Weather Controller.
Once data for a weather product has downloaded and is available for the selected altitude and
time, its text background will turn green. [Figure 26:]
Mouse over a weather product to see a blue highlight showing at which altitudes that weather
product is available, and the time span for which it is available. [Figure 26:] Some weather
products are only available at certain altitudes. Some weather products are valid for longer
time periods than others.
To hide the Weather Data group panel, right-click the control and select Hide Weather Data
Panel. You can also click the small down arrow on the Weather Map Controls dialog box and
click Hide Weather Data Panel.
Each of the weather products can be displayed or hidden by selecting or clearing them in the
Weather Data panel. They can also be turned off or on from the Display Weather Types menu
option, or by turning them on or off using the Weather Toolbar buttons.
The lighter green color indicates those altitudes for which only some of the selected weather
products are available. You can identify which altitude ranges are covered by specific products
by doing a mouse-over on the product names in the Weather Data panel and noting which
bands are colored blue.
The gray color indicates altitudes for which none of the selected weather products are
available. At start-up, when weather data begins to load, large altitude bands may be colored
gray. These bands will turn green as data is downloaded.
To hide the Display Altitude group panel, right-click the control and select Hide Altitude
Slider. You can also click the small down arrow on the Weather Map Controls dialog box and
click Hide Altitude Slider.
The darker green color on the slider indicates the time span during which all of the selected
weather products are valid and therefore available for display on the chart. The lighter green
color indicates those times during which only some of the selected weather products are
available. You can identify which time periods are covered by specific products by doing a
mouse-over on the weather product name in the Weather Data panel and noting which bands
are colored blue.
The range of the time slider adjusts as different weather products are selected or unselected,
and as old data expires and new data is downloaded. When you select a position on the time
slider, the selected display time is shown in bold text, and below it is the time offset (past or
future) from your current system time. If you leave the time slider in one position, it will attempt
to keep the time offset constant. For example, if you position the time slider two hours into the
future, it will stay positioned at two hours in the future, and your map will continue to display
weather data for two hours in the future.
Click Present to move the time slider to the present time. It will remain set to the present time
until the time slider is moved. To hide the Display Time group panel, right-click the control and
select Hide Time Slider. You can also click the small down arrow on the Weather Map
Controls dialog box and click Hide Time Slider.
Looping Weather
Click Loop to play a repeating time loop display of the selected weather products, progressing
from the past into the future. To vary the loop speed click Weather > Options > Setup tab,
and adjust the Time Loop Speed.
The weather legend explains the colors and symbols used to depict the different weather
products on the map.
When the map is viewed at different zoom levels, the colors used to depict some weather
products may be adjusted for optimal viewing. The equivalent colors in the weather legend will
also adjust. The weather legend can be repositioned by dragging it around, and even onto a
second monitor. The weather legend header bar contains the same data download indicator
icon, with its three different states, as explained in the topic Status Tab. The weather legend
will not display if there are no weather products selected for display on the map.
The weather legend has three different legend view settings. [Figure 27:] Right-click, or click
the small down arrow, and select from Full Legend, Abbreviated Legend, or Legend Header
Only. At the larger view setting (Full Legend) the legend can be resized by click and drag, and
will scroll if necessary to show its contents. The header bar is present in all size settings, and
shows the current settings for weather display altitude and weather display time.
Right-click on the weather legend, or the enroute chart, and select to show or hide. This can
also be done using the Weather menu.

key while performing a click-and-drag action with the mouse. [Figure 31:] Measurement Only
works the same as Point to Point but is not "sticky".
Remove All
Removes all measurements from the enroute chart.
User-Defined Waypoints
A user-defined waypoint is a waypoint created by you, and used to define a waypoint in a
route, or to mark locations of interest on the enroute chart. They can be set, modified, hidden,
shown, and deleted. User-defined waypoint characteristics are displayed in the User Waypoint
Properties dialog box.
User-defined waypoints can be cut and copied, as well as dragged and dropped. A
user-defined waypoint being cut or dragged will only be removed when successfully pasted or
dropped.
• Click Add User Waypoint . This changes the pointer to the user-defined type .
• Right-click on the RoutePack, route, airport, or the graphic route on the enroute chart
and click Append or Stop Appending Waypoints.
• On the keyboard press Ctrl+M. This changes the pointer to the user-defined type.
2. The pointer will change shape over the enroute chart to look like this . Select where on
the enroute chart you want to add the user-defined waypoint and click the mouse. A new
user-defined waypoint is added to the enroute chart at the location you selected.
3. Double-click the new user-defined waypoint or right-click and click Properties.
4. Optionally type a Name for the user-defined waypoint as you want it to appear on the
enroute chart.
