ENROUTE IFR CHARTS

On an End-of-Lesson Test, and as depicted in the chart legends, you will

identify the purpose, contents, and specific items and information for the
following En Route charts:

1. Low Altitude.

2. High Altitude.

3. IFR Area.

En Route Low Altitude Charts are designed to provide aeronautical information for en route
navigation during instrument flight below 18,000 feet MSL

Charts are updated every 56 days.

They are used for navigation in instrument meteorological conditions on an IFR

flight plan below FL180

A wide variety of aeronautical information is depicted on the charts:

VHF airways with distances between intersections and navigational aids

Radio aids to navigation such as VORs, VORTACs, VOR/DMEs, and NDBs, as well as
their postion, identification, and frequencies
Selected airports
Special Use Airspace, Military Training Routes, and related information
Limits of controlled airspace
Minimum en route altitudes and minimum obstruction clearance altitudes
Communication frequencies
Each chart is numbered and prefaced with an L for low altitude.

Each L chart consists of several panels.

The chart scale is listed under the chart number in the corners.
Effective dates shown are identical for charts L-1 through L-36.

The effective date upon which the map can be used for navigation.

The date when the current one can no longer be used, which is also the scheduled
date of the next revision.

L-1 through L-36 are published together, along with the IFR Area Charts which cover
several congested areas.

The Military Training Routes (MTRs) listed are all depicted on the chart, but the effective
altitudes are only found in this table.

The En Route Low Altitude Chart Legend is divided into several major categories of
information, including:

Air Traffic Services
Airspace Information
Major category areas are subdivided into sections containing similar types of information.

Some information and graphical data is color-coded for easier identification or to

distinguish between facilities or airspace areas with different operational characteristics.

Various levels of shading are used to make the chart easier to read and allow for quick
recognition of the most important features.

NAVAID, and the corresponding frequencies are found above the box.

Frequencies listed above thin-lined boxes are remoted to the NAVAID site from the

routes, or route segments which meets obstacle clearance requirements for
the entire route segment and which assures acceptable navigational signal
coverage only within 25 statute (22 nautical) miles of a VOR.

The MOCA is the altitude preceded by an asterisk.

An OROCA is depicted within each quadrangle on the chart bounded by lines of latitude and
longitude.

Altitude provides obstruction clearance based on the highest known feature (either
terrain or obstructions) to be found within that section of the chart.

2,000-foot buffer in designated mountainous areas

The OROCA does NOT guarantee navigational aid (NAVAID) signal reception or
communications coverage.

The LARGE number represents thousands of feet, and the SMALL number
represents hundreds of feet above Mean Sea Level (MSL).
Prohibited, Restricted, Alert, and Warning Areas are shown within a blue hatched boundary;
Military Operations Areas (MOAs) are confined within a light brown hatched boundary.

ATB19-44

Published every 56 days, on the same schedule as the En Route Low Altitude Charts.
Chart layout is similar to the En Route Low Altitude Chart, with two geographical areas per
chart, printed on opposite sides.

Each side of the chart is numbered separately (e.g., H-5 on one side, H-6 on the other).
 Some overlap exists to aid the pilot in planning and following a route of flight.

Map scale is generally 1 = 20 NM.

Due to smaller scale than the En Route Low Altitude Charts, only 12 charts are needed
to cover the contiguous U.S .

Legend is similar to the En Route Low Altitude Chart, but depicts Jet (J) and RNAV (Q)
routes instead of low altitude airways.
Information pertinent to flight in the high altitude stratum is depicted on the chart:

Jet routes, RNAV routes and distances

Identification and frequencies of radio aids
Airports with at least a 5,000 foot hard-surfaced runway
Time zones
Special Use Airspace and related information

Information pertaining to Special Use Airspace (SUA) within the boundaries of the chart is
listed on the cover flaps of the En Route High Altitude Chart.
Prohibited, Restricted, and Warning Areas are listed in numerical order within each category of
SUA.

MOAs exist only outside of Class A Airspace and are not listed on En Route High
Altitude Charts.

Map of the U.S. shows the area covered by each High Altitude chart.

Major cities are depicted to aid the user in chart selection.

Darkest outlining indicates areas covered by this chart
Most symbols and recognition features on the En Route High Altitude Chart Legend are
identical to those found on the En Route Low Altitude Chart.

Airports are depicted using the same color-coding.

Some details and symbols which are only relevant to the low altitude stratum are
omitted.
Only airports with hard-surfaced runways at least 5,000 feet long are shown.
 Terminal Air/Ground frequencies are excluded.

City Names (if different from airport name), airport names, and airport location
identifiers are printed next to the airport depiction, but airport data is omitted.

Frequencies, lighting information, elevation, and localizer alignment depictions

are not relevant.

Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitudes (MOCAs) and Military Training Routes (MTRs)
are not shown.
Minimum En Route Altitudes (MEAs) are shown in MSL altitudes, but only if higher than
18,000.
Maximum Authorized Altitudes (MAAs) are shown in MSL altitudes, but only if lower
than 45,000.
All NAVAIDs shown are H class, unless identified as L or T.

L or T class NAVAIDs located off jet routes are shown in screen black (light
gray).

Morse Code is omitted from the NAVAID frequency boxes.

EN ROUTE HIGH ALTITUDE CHART EXAMPLE

ATB19-52

IFR Area Charts furnish terminal data for IFR flight in congested areas.
 Large scale provides greater detail than the En Route Low Altitude Charts, generally 1
= 5 to 8 miles.

Each chart has its own scale depending on the amount of detail and congestion
within the depicted area.

ATB19-54

IFR Area Charts do NOT contain a legend, but use the same symbols as are found on the En
Route Low and High Altitude Charts.

Area Charts are published every 56 days, and are bound together with the En
Route Low Altitude Charts

The Area Charts publication has two sides, labeled A-1 and A-2, with multiple charts depicted
on each side, and each chart named for an individual city or city-pair.

Some charts are larger than others due to the number and proximity of busy
airports, distance of feeder fixes from the main airport, or size of the surrounding Class B or C
Airspace

IFR AREA CHART EXAMPLE

Communication information is presented in a similar manner to the En Route Low Altitude
Chart.

Frequencies for airports with approach and departure control services are listed on a
panel of either the A-1 or A-2 side of the map, depending upon which side has the appropriate
chart containing that airport

Each Area Chart heading lists the chart scale and the En Route Low Altitude Charts where the
primary airport can be found.
 Airports are listed by Area Chart and in alphabetical order by airport name, along with their
alphanumeric identifier.

Where multiple frequencies are used, they may be listed using several methods:

Approach and Departure Control - by quadrant (South, West), by compass sector (231 -
269), by altitude (271 - 090 below 4000), by aircraft type (TURBO JETS-WEST), or
by the facility providing the service (Fort Lauderdale Approach Control, Miami Departure
Control
Tower - by quadrant (North, South) or runway (9L/27R)

Ground Control - by runway (07-25, 17L-35R) or function (outbound, inbound)

ATIS - by function (arrivals, departures)

Contains other useful frequencies, such as AWOS/ASOS, Pre-taxi, Clearance Delivery, and
Ground Metering.

Includes Class B, C and D Airspace effective times, where applicable.)

A/G VOICE COMMUNICATION

A/G VOICE COMMUNICATIONS

Airports with approach and departure control services are listed below, alphabetically by airport name.
Airports with proper names are listed by last name. A five point star ( ) preceding the ATIS frequency
indicates less-than-continuous or part-time operation frequencies transmit and receive data unless otherwise
noted. An asterisk (*) follows the part-time tower freq remoted to the collocated full-time FSS for use as LAA during
hours the tower is closed. Radials defining sectors are outbound from facility. Chart panel identification letter
is shown to right of listing. For additional communications data, refer to Airport/Facility Directory and/or
DoD FLIP IFR/VFR Supplements.
