Latitude (shown as a horizontal line) is the angular distance, in degrees, minutes, and seconds of a point north or south of the
Equator. Lines of latitude are often referred to as parallels.
Lines of latitude measure north-south position between the poles. The equator is defined as 0 degrees, the North Pole is 90
degrees north, and the South Pole is 90 degrees south. Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, thus they are often referred
to as parallels.
The memory rhyme I use to help remember that lines of latitude denote north-south distance is:
"Tropical latitudes improve my attitude"

Mandatory Charts
Non-Mandatory Charts
These charts are similar to sectional charts and the symbols are the same except there is less detail due to the
smaller scale, and because of this, it is seldom used for visual flight rules flight. WACs show topographic
information, airports and radio navigational aids. They are primarily useful for strategic flight planning, where a
comprehensive view of the entire flight area is useful.
World Aeronautical Charts cover land areas at a standard size and scale for navigation by moderate speed
aircraft and aircraft operating at high altitudes. The topographical information includes city tints, principal roads,
railroads, distinctive landmarks, drainage patterns and relief. The aeronautical information includes visual and
radio aids to navigation, airports, airways, restricted areas, obstructions and other pertinent data. Because of
their smaller scale, these charts do not show as much detailed information as appears on the Sectional and
Terminal Area Charts. For example, Class D and Class E airspace and the limits of controlled airspace are not
shown. Because some information is not shown, World Aeronautical Charts are not recommended for exclusive
use by pilots of low speed, low altitude aircraft.
They are produced at a scale of 1:1,000,000 (approximately 1 inch = 13.7 nautical miles or 16 statute miles)

When an aircraft is flying under instrument flight rules (IFR), they often will
have no visual reference to the ground, and must therefore rely on internal
(e.g. GPS) or external (e.g. VOR) aids to navigation. Although in some
situations, air traffic control may issue radar vectors to direct an aircraft's
path, this is usually done to facilitate traffic flow, and will not be the sole
means of navigating to an important point, such as the position from which an
aircraft commences its approach to landing.
Charts used for IFR flights contain an abundance of information regarding
locations of waypoints, known as "fixes", which are defined by measurements
from electronic beacons of various types, as well as the routes connecting
these waypoints. Only limited topographic information is found on IFR charts,
although the minimum safe altitudes available on the routes are shown.

Jeppesen Charts
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.

Jeppesen Charts
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.
