There are three types ofTFR Charts: 1) Terminal Charts, which provide radio navigation data for some of the
busier airports (quite similar to VTAs; 2) Ei2route Tow Altitude Charts, which provide radio navigation data
for the en route portion of flights, up to, but not including 18000' ASL, and. 3) .Enroute High Altitude
Chaf -ts. which provide similar data for the airspace at FLI 80 and above.
LE Charts are Lambert Conformal Conic Projection charts, and are similar to VNC Charts in that a straight
line on an LE represent a great circle route.
Communication
On backpage of the LE are two blocks ofiniormalion, the lirsi concerning the VHF Ircqacncics assigicd to
each oldie n'ijor airports on the chart with control towers (including .\TIS, Tower and Ground Frequencies),
and the second concerning the ,rca Control Centre and Terminal Control VHF frcquencies including
peripheral station radio Jequencies
On the chart itsell the name oitbe applicable Area Control Centres as well is the PAL ftequencs, are
dentified using a boxed RrmaL The PAL box on the right shows that Vancouver Centre can be conlac Led On

Scale
The scale of the LB Charts varyin the above example, tbr instance, the upper let and right corners of the
back page show that LO 2 provides a scale of 18 NM per U', while LO us scaled at 20 NM to 1". This
variation in scale, however, is of little consequence, since all distances along airways between navigation aids
and betweei intersections are published on the chart. In tho case that a n'asuremeiit is reqniredfor exaniple
between a navigatioii aid aixi an airporta scale bar that appears at the top and bottom of the chart can be
used. Simply mark the distance on the edge of a scrap piece of paper and then position the paper next to the
scale to read the distance.

The MOCA provides on altitude above sea level in ejiecl between radio fixes on low level afrwavs or air
routes that meet the JFk obsruciion clearwe
w requirement /r the route segrneni.j Importantly, tI
11'R. obstruction clearance rcquircniit varies with whctlr or not an airway or air route is located inside or
outside a Designated Mountainous Area (DMA). Outside the DMAs, the MOCA provides 1000'
clearance over the highest obstacle within 5 NM of the aircraft; inside DMAs 2, 3, and 4, this clearance
increases to 1500', and in DMAs 1 and 5 this clearance increases to 2000.
In contrast, the IvthA provides an altitude above sea level between specified fixes on aThvays or air
routes that assures acceptable navigational coverage, and which meets the liY? obstruction clearance
requirernents. Accordingly. MI.A will always be higher than MOCA.
Also note that VHF/UHF airways are depicted in black ink, while L1/MI' airways are in green. You will not
have difficulty determining the proper odd/even altitude to fly as the even altitude direction associated with an
airway is indicated by the pointed end olihc airway identilicatioti box.

Airport Data
The Aerodrome and Aerodromc Data depiction on LFR charts are conventional, arid do not vary substantially
for VFRcliart relrences. Importantly, however, airports with published Inst rurneiu approach procedures
are displayed in black ink.
Changeover Points
Nomially the radio aid uscd for tracking an airway is changed between the anchoring facilities at the half-way
,mrk. Where this changeover point is diffcrcnt, it is niarkcd as indicated bckw.. En route from VOR A to
VOR B, the VOR A is selected until the 102-NM mark is reached, and then VUR B is selected,
Ael
The key to intercepting a desired track is first paralleling the track. When you get comfortable with
interceptions, you will start skipping this phase, but until you get proficient at it, always parallel the track before
you intercept it. By paralleling the track, you are ectivcFj orienting yourself and the aircraft to the ground
transmitter or waypoint. Is it located in front of or behind the airerafi2 is it located to the left or to the rir?
With a VOR or (IPS waypoint, once the track is paralleled, the hifomtioii derived from the instrument
display can be directly applied to your mental picture of your locationyou are looking for the "Fo" or
1rom" indication to determine if it is ahead or behind, and you look for the needle deflection to determine Wit
is right or left. Consider the depiction below:

Navigation Formula
Relative Bearing
Magnetic bearing, sontirncs shnply referred to as bearing, denotes the horizontal irngtictic direction to or
from any point. If the magnetic bearing (or hearing) to a station is 270, for example, this means that we are
directly east of the station similarly, if our bearing to a station is 1 80c , we are directly north.
Relative bearing is the position of an object relative to the longitudinal axis of the aircrafl. If an object
lies directly oft'the right wing of an aircraft, it would be considered to be at a relative bearing of 090'. If the
aircraft is eastbound and an object is directly to the north of the aircraft, the object still remains at a relative
bearing of 270, even though the inagnel it: bearing is 360.
An aircraft is flying on a tmgnctie heading of 270', An ADF indicator shows a relative hearing to a local NDB
as 010. To proceed directly to the NDB, what magnetic heading would he flown?
Here iF, the krnuh to he used:
Magnetic Bearing = Magnetic Heading + Relative Bearing
or, MB=MH+RB
MB =270
I 010
MB = 280
10 fly to the N DB (or beacon), the pilot would fly 280
Now, what would happen if the niagn elk heading and relative hearing, added togethcr. equalled a value
greater than 360. The solution is straightlbnvards'imply take the sum and subtract 360. For example,
an aircraft is flying a heading of 2700 and the relative hearing to the station is 190'. What magnetic hearing
should the pilot fly to proceed directly to the station?
MB MH+RB
MB - 270 + ISO
MB 451)
MB (450 360)
MR = 090
10 fly to the 1'. JiB (or beacon), the pilot would fly 090O.
A similar variation on the formula can be encountered when determining the relative bearing. To establish
relative bearing by itself on one side of the equation, simply subtract Ml I from both sides:
MBMH+ RI)
MB-MH(MH+RB)-MH
1v1J3-M1I=RB or,
I1 II II II
On occasion you will find that the magnetic hearing Ls greater than the aircrafi .c magnetic heading. A
negative answer will not do, of course, but the solution is quite straight forwardcfinp1v add 36O' to the
magnetic hearing. Here is an example: The aircraft's magnetic heading is 27W, and the magnetic bearing to
an N DE3 is 1
What is the relative bearing to the N Dif?
RB - MB - MH
RP - 10-27()
RB - (180-360)-270
RB = 540-270
1113 = 270
So, let's see if this uxikcs sense. Thc aircraft is flying, westbound (i.c., from right to bft across your piece of
paper). '1he magnetic bearing to the station is 180', so that would put the station below the aircraft at the
bottom ofthc page (i.e., the south). What would be thc relative bearing of this station with respect to the nose
of the aircraflycs it would be directly off the left wing, or 2700 measured clockwise from the aircraft's
longitudinal axis!
60
Applying these formulas to VORs, for example, let us assume that an aircraft is tracking inbound on the 2700
Radial of a VOR. Fhc pilot wishes to know the aircraft's distance from the VOl? slatin. To do this, the
pilot then turns the aircraft to a heading of 360"', and starts tinning After two minutes the pilot notes that the
CDI has deflected I '/ dotsor what is three degrees. Here comes the math:
129
Time to Station (minutes) =
120x 40
Distance to Station (NM)
60
Track Measurement
Whericvcr it is required to produce a quick measurement of csdniatcd cii route along an airway with a dogleg,
or a series o ['airways with dilrcrcnt tracks, an effective way to do this is to "eyeball-estimate" an average
track. When the average track is dctcrinincd, the forecast winds can be applied to dctcrrninc the average
groundspccd and the total distance of the actual routing can be applied to the avcragc groundspced to
determine the total tinic on route.
Here are sonic examples of average tracks:

3 Unlike a VOR, the NDB signal is tested every tint a new NDB is selected. If the APP is equipped with a
"test' hiaion, this is pressed and the bearing indicator will nioc to the 090'relative hearing position; ifthe
ADF does not have a lest lcatLirc, move the liinclion scicetor switch Worn the ADF position to the ANT
position (the ANT position removes the directional loop antenna" from the systern allowing only the nondirectional "sense antenna" to receive the signal), and again the 090 relative bearing will be received.
In lad, you do not add or subtract, but instead simply glance at the ADF rotating card and read the intercept
beadingpresui-ning, oftourse that you have "bugged" the orientttion heading. In the event ola Fixed card
ADF, simply transpose the bearing indication onto the heading indicator; as you turn to the intercept heading
you should see the desired track under either the 45'or 900 marker on the heading indicator.
. This is quite tricky business and you should spend titne on the ground re-viewing this tail pulling" and "head
pushing; on a scrap of paperbut of course it is best seen in the air.
