Background
Elrey B. Jeppesen(1907～
1996), a pilot, began
recording aeronautical
information in the early
1930s.
For over 70 years
Jeppesen chart services
have set the standard for
current, complete,
reliable flight information
worldwide.
It’s important to recognize that Jeppesen dose not
create aviation procedures. The charts Jeppesen
creates are graphic representations of the
procedures designed by aviation authorities in
compliance with the governing regulations .
Jeppesen extracts the basic information for the
charting and Nav Data services from public
documents and disseminated by worldwide civil
aviation authorities.
All of the charts are bound in
leather binder. Jeppesen airway
manuals divide into different
standard manuals according to
geographical region on the
world, such as EEU—Europe
Manual, CHI—China Manual,
PBN—Pacific Manual, etc.
Generally, the contents
of Standard Jeppesen
airway manual are
divided into thirteen
main sections,
seperated by tabs.
Each section will be
introduced briefly in
this lesson.
 §1.1 Briefing Bulletin
Briefing Bulletins are the important tab of airway
manual. Bulletins often notify the customers by
means of NOTAMS. They are normally used to
convey information concerning such item as:
• Major specification changes, such as new IAP
formats, symbols and glossary, etc. For example,
In stead of “Chart NOTAMs”, “Chart Change
Notices” has been used from 28th september,
2007.
• Major events affecting IFR operations, such as
the Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) for the
European region, and temporary events such as
air shows and sporting events that involve
specific IFR requirements.
• Changes in a State’s rules and regulations with
a major impact on charting.
Briefing bulletins are numbered consecutively
throughout each year:
JEP + two-digit year + sequential letter
（a）
 §1.2 Introduction
The introduction tab provides many tools that help
you interpret Jeppesen charts, including:
• A glossary which provides definitions for most of
the terms and abbreviations commonly used on
Jeppesen instrument charts.
• A list of abbreviations used on Jeppesen
instrument charts.
• Legend pages for enroute and terminal charts,
airport sins, and runway markings.
When referring to this book and Jeppesen charts,
keep in mind the following conventions:
• Speeds are in knots.
• Times are in coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
• Vertical distances are given in feet unless
otherwise specified.
• Horizontal distances are given in nautical miles
unless otherwise specified.
• Bearings are magnetic, unless suffixed by T for
True.
• Chart Projections are Lambert Conformal=True
angles/True areas.
 §1.3 Chart Change Notices
Notices to Airman, contain time-critical, aeronautical
information that could affect your decision to make
a flight. The information is either temporary in
nature, or unknown in time for publication on
aeronautical charts and/or in other documents.
Examples of information that may be in Change
Notices include:
• Airport or primary runway closures.
• Changes in the status of navigational aids.
• Radar service availability.
• Other data essential to enroute, terminal, or
landing operations.
Chart Change Notices are revised and
reissued every one or two weeks. As your
preflight planning, you should obtain all the
current Change Notices which affect your
route of flight.
It is important to note that Jeppesen Chart
Change Notices highlight only significant
changes affecting Jeppesen Charts, also
regularly updated at www.Jeppesen.com.
 §1.4 Enroute
Enroute tab usually includes airway structures and
routes, ATS textual and graphic information
concerning entire enroute flight phase.
The airway structure, routes, and controlled
airspace may be depicted on combined high/low
altitude enroute charts. If congested airspace
does not allow a combination of high/low altitude
charts, the low and high altitude airspace
depiction is separated into low altitude and high
altitude enroute charts.
 §1.4.1 Textual and Graphic
Information
Textual and graphic information provided by
Jeppesen Airway Manual will be varied by
coverage. This may include:
• Stockholm Radio in European Coverage
• AIRNC Services and Communications in North
American Coverage
• Oceanic Long Range Navigation Information
• Designators of ATS Routes and Its Use in Voice
Communications
• Airline Operation Control (AOC)
• Enroute chart index
• Preferred IFR routes
In many locations, a system of preferred IFR
routes has been established:
 to guide pilots in planning their route of flight
 to minimize route changes during the
operational phase of flight, and
 to aid in the efficient, orderly management of
air traffic using existing airways and routes.
• Route Availability Documents (RAD)
• Conditional Route (CDR)
• Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR)
Procedure
 §1.4.2 Enroute Charts
Enroute charts help you keep track of your
position and provide the information you
need to maintain a safe altitude and
ensure navigation signal reception. The
large number of navaids and the
complexity of the airway and airspace
system has made specialized enroute
charts a necessity for IFR flight.
 §1.5 Radio Aids
Radio aids are important with regard to flight.
Air navigation of aircraft must rely on
communication, navigation and
surveillance services provided by radio
aids. Radio Aids tab of Jeppesen airway
manual provides radio aid information in
textual and graphic format.
 §1.5.1 General Information on
Radio Facility
Radio facility information varies by coverage area. The
information includes normally the following:
• General Information
• Air Navigation Radio Aids
Such as NDB, VOR, TACAN, VORTAC, DME, ILS,
SDF, MLS, listing of NAVAID, LORAN,
IRU/INS/AHRS, GPS, WAAS, GLS, etc.
• RNAV and RNP
• Radar Surveillance System
• Radio Navigation Aid Direction Finding Procedures
• Radio Navigation Aids Legend
 §1.5.2 Radio Aids Information
The Radio Aids in the World Wide Airway Manual
includes listings of all radio aids within the
coverage area, including identifier, frequency, and
coordinates. This information is grouped state-by-
state. At the end of each state listing, you’ll also
find an ILS listing, alphabetized by city name.
