IFR pilots must have a thorough understanding of the charts they use. Pilots who have been flying IFR for years may be familiar with Jeppesen IFR Charts. Instrument students and newer IFR pilots may be more familiar with Aeronav published by the FAA. Both of these providers of charts offer their own ways of relaying information.

San Carlos Flight Center invites Assistant Chief Pilot, Brain Eliot as he leads a discussion of Aeronav and Jeppesen charts and their application and use in IFR conditions. While the charts may look very similar at first glance, Brian Eliot will dive into the  differences between the two, and how you can effectively use each.  Jeppesen charts advantages include ease of access to information, and more details, but at a cost, while Aeronav offers a free resource available to everyone.

Join us to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of both of these chart providers, and make a more informed decision on which to use whilst flying IFR.
