Aeronautical charts are specialized maps designed for the navigation of aircraft. They provide essential information such as airways, airports, and navigational aids, helping pilots plan and execute their flights safely. These charts include details like elevation, terrain features, and restricted airspace, which are crucial for avoiding obstacles and ensuring compliance with regulations. There are various types of aeronautical charts, including VFR (Visual Flight Rules) charts and IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) charts. VFR charts are used for visual navigation, while IFR charts assist pilots flying in low visibility conditions. Both types are vital tools for ensuring safe and efficient air travel.
