[coverage, scale, primary operations, details]
|
* world wide coverage
* 1:5,000,000
* long-range, high-speed, high-altitude (cover lots of realestate)
* basic cartographic information with aeronautical overprint (mile long runways)
|
Jet Navigation Chart (JNC)
[coverage, scale, primary operations, details]
|
* world wide coverage
* 1:2,000,000 (with the exception of during the Cold War 1:3,000,000)
* high-altitude radar navigation by strategic aircraft (CSAR, EW, aircrew training)
* when you start seeing air defense identifcation zones, contour lines, water depth, major transportation networks
|
Operational Navigation Chart (ONC)
[coverage, scale, primary operations, details]
|
* world wide coverage (except Antarctica)
* 1:1,000,000
* high-speed radar at medium altitude
* start getting into visual flight rule (things to see not avoid), land marks, and maximum elevation figures
