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 CD presentation of the
Jeppesen system, with the convenience of the CD format, but it
lacks the DVD convenience of interactive detail, interactive
review, and menu selection. It's main objective is to explain the
format and notation of the various types of Jeppesen charts. The CD
content includes Approach & Airport charts, SIDs & STARs,
DPs, and Enroute charts. The CD offers a complete chart training
package for operators using the Jeppesen chart system.

- Introduction
- Heading

The Jeppesen Chart Training CD is similar to the now discontinued
FlighTime Chart VHS video series, but produced on a
single CD video. It is designed to be viewed using a conventional
CD player and a television set. However, it may also be viewed
using a PC with a CD-ROM drive. Total running time is approximately
2:20. Jeppesen also offers a DVD version of
this same material with interactive review questions at the end of
each section.
