Enroute, Departures & Arrivals and Approaches Courses Add Safety to Your IFR Flights
Like many pilots, you may have done your IFR training using government charts, but you prefer to fly with Jeppesen charts because you feel Jepp charts offer you more information in a clearer fashion.
Important differences you should know
But the problem is you've never had any training on how to read the Jepp charts. And there are many differences in the way important things are shown. For instance the minimums sections of the approach chart is entirely different in the Jepp version and can be confusing if you don't know how the section are organized. The profile view on Jepp approach charts shows separate paths for ILS and localizer approaches, while government charts show them as one. Jepp approach charts sometimes show terrain, but do you know when? Can you recognize the difference between the ways NDB's are displayed on Jeppesen charts vs. government charts? How does each chart type depict time zone boundaries uncontrolled airspace, airports? How does each present MSA circles or ILS DMEs on a localizer frequency? These are all shown differently and it can all get pretty confusing and having the answers at your fingertips might easily affect the safety of your IFR flight.
Clarifies, simplifies, makes it easier to understand
If you use Jeppesen Charts, or are considering switching to them, you'll find KING's Jeppesen Chart Review courses show you the differences between Jepp & NOS charts in clear and easy-to-understand terms and make your IFR flying easier and less stressful. Volume One thoroughly covers the in's and out's of enroute, departures & arrivals; Volume Two explores approaches in-depth.
Created for pilots familiar with IFR procedures
Each program, created for pilots who are familiar with United States IFR rules, presents a review of the meaning of the symbols used on the charts plus dozens of practical tips on how you can use the charts to their fullest advantage. Included in Enroute, Departures & Arrivals are how Jeppesen depicts the alphabet soup of IFR altitudes MEA's, MOCA's, MCA's, MRA's, MAA's and the mysterious grid MORA. And even current IFR pilots may not be familiar with some of the new concepts you'll find in Jeppesen Chart Review

If you use US govt charts and are thinking of switching to Jepps, this pair of videos will explain the differences. It will also explain why Jepps are often preferred over the govt charts. The Kings are the masters of aviation educational videos. A little corny at times, but clear and easy to follow. Have a set of Jepp plates and charts out as you watch the video so you can pause it and identify the features they are talking about. A worthwhile review,and if you've been using Jepps for a while already, you may be surprised at the little useful details the Kings point out.
The DVD was informative and worth the viewing. However, each section of the program terminated a little early (I don't know if it is a function of the particular disk, or it was recorded that way. The same occurred with disk 2 of the same program.
Great video for airline interview prep, which is what I used it for. Also great as a refresher for using Jepp plates.
This is a great review of these types of charts for someone who is currently using them. It is also a good foundational knowledge for using these approach plates even if you have never used them before. I used these to prep for an aviation interview and they were very helpful.
