The Airport Diagram

Hi, in this post I will show you three different types of chart formats: Jeppesen, AIP Germany and NACO. Who's first?

Bremen Airport (Flughafen Bremen) EDDW:

This is a German AIP (Aeronautical Information Publication) chart format. On the top left of the chart, you can see the coordinates and elevation of the airport. Top right, the chart number and the airport name.

Bremen has two runways: 09/27 and 23, which is only for VFR takeoffs for airplanes no more than 5700kg (05 is not available for takeoff and landing). Runway 09/27 is 2040 x 45 meters long and runway 23 is 700 x 23 m long. You can see the taxiway designators in letters and the CATII/III holding points. The CATII/III holding points are used when the CATII or III approaches are in use (So, when there's very low visibility). Inside the green area is in responsability of the DFS (Deutsche Flugsicherung. The german ATC), because they manage all departing and arriving traffic (Takeoffs and landings). The apron control is resposible outside the green area, because they control the traffic on the apron=platform. The lights are drawn at the centre/edges of the taxiway or runway. The big X means, that taxiway or runway or area is not available/usable. Oh, I forgot something. The small box on the bottom left is the intersection takeoff distances. For example, if we want to take off from runway 27 E intersection, we would have a TORA (TakeOff Runway Available) of 1610m. A TODA (TakeOff Distance Available) of 1670m and an ASDA (Accelerate-Stop Distance Available) of 1610m. Quite simple.

Now the NACO format chart; San Antonio International Airport KSAT:

And the Jeppesen format of Guadalajara International Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla) MMGL:



Of course, there is the Mexican AIP format, but they don't publish it online.
Hope you liked this post :) Good bye.
