What is the deal with charts in Europe. I know there are Jepp charts, but are there local govt charts too? Sort of similar to USA with the govt charts in the USA? Yes. Much like the official sectionals in the USA, each European country publishes its official VFR chart. They are usually called ICAO charts. Of course, Jeppesen sells VFR charts for Europe, too. There are pros and cons of the ICAO charts vs. Jepp: Pro is, you have the "real" thing. It's the official text. No discussions. Con is, each country has its own graphic scheme, so if you travel internationally, you have to learn to read each chart again. Personally, I think this is part of the fun. Learn each country and its particularities. Others think it's a hassle. Again personally, I think Jepp charts fall short when it comes to real visual navigation (i.e. navigation by looking out of the window). Stefan |
