Jeppesen IFR charts use a notation that is
different from the NOS/TC standard chart format. Many operators
prefer the Jeppesen layout for its high-visibility graphics, and
the intuitive layout. Some classroom time is required, however, to
learn the different format. This is a useful DVD presentation of
the Jeppesen system, and it has all the usual DVD advantages of
convenience and interactive detail. It's main objective is to teach
and refine IFR skills by helping to properly interpret the data on
Jeppesen charts. Also includes interactive quizzes to reinforce and
review. The DVD content includes Approach & Airport charts,
SIDs & STARs, DPs, and Enroute charts.
The Approach/Aiport Chart section includes:
- Introduction
- Heading
- Plan View
- Profile View
- Landing Minimums
- RNAV

The Enroute Chart section includes:

The Jeppesen Chart Training DVD is similar to the previous (now
discontinued) FlighTime Chart VHS video series, but
produced on a single DVD video with added interactive quizzes. It
is designed to be viewed using a DVD player and a television set.
However, it may also be viewed using a PC with a DVD-ROM drive.
Total running time is approximately 2:20. Jeppesen also offers a
CD version of this same material for users
who don't have a DVD player.
