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.
Its 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 EEUEurope Manual, CHIChina Manual, PBNPacific 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.
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 States rules and regulations with a major impact on charting. Briefing bulletins are numbered consecutively throughout each year: JEP + two-digit year + sequential letter
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.
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.
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.

1.6 Meteorology
The Meteorology tab in the Worldwide Airway Manual includes selected chapters and paragraphs extracted from ICAO Annex 3Meteorological Service for International Air Navigation.
(2)Availability of MET Broadcasts The location desired for weather information is shown along with the station (s) broadcasting for that area.
Pressure Altitude Tables Conversion Tables Volume/Weight Tables (2) NOTAMS (3) SNOWTAM (4) Standard Time Signals (5) Radio Time Signals (6) Sunrise and Sunset Tables (7) Local Time all of the World (8) Country Code Directory
1.10 Emergency
The Emergency tab in the Worldwide Airway Manual provides pilots with emergency information extracted from numerous ICAO publications. ICAO differences, or state special procedures, may also be included.
The symbology and letters represent different revised action as following: A Added Charts D Destroyed or Deleted Charts
# A Folded Charts
Terminal charts are revised once or twice a week. For enroute charts, area charts, B-class airspace charts, and J-AID, the revision interval is 28 or 56 days. Where necessary, FAR will be revised.
