Aeronautical charts are specialized maps designed for the navigation of aircraft. They provide essential information such as terrain features, airspace boundaries, and navigation aids like VOR stations. Pilots use these charts to plan their routes and ensure safe flight operations. There are different types of aeronautical charts, including sectional charts, terminal area charts, and enroute charts. Each type serves a specific purpose, catering to various phases of flight, from takeoff to landing. These charts are crucial for maintaining situational awareness and complying with aviation regulations.
