Aeronautical Charts What they are: Aeronautical charts provide many ground features in addition to air navigation information. Most of our aeronautical products are produced by NGA. The following is a list of some of the available products: Global Navigation and Planning Chart(GNC): Worldwide small-scale aeronautical chart series. These are suitable for flight planning, operation over long distances, and enrooted navigation in long range, high altitude, high speed aircraft. Principal cities, towns, drainage, primary roads and railroads, prominent culture, shaded relief, and spot elevations are shown. Aeronautical data includes NAVIES, airports and restricted areas. The scale is 1:5,000,000. Jet Navigation Chart(JNC): The Jet Navigation Charts are long range navigation graphics specifically designed to meet the requirements of users in high altitude (25,000 to 50,000) feet above ground level, high speed aircraft. Each chart combines extensive area coverage with depiction of detail for navigation by radar, celestial, dead-reckoning and pilot age. The scale is 1:2,000,000 and 1:3,000,000. Operational Navigation Chart(ONC): The ONC is the standard worldwide overprint depicting obstructions, aerodomes, special use airspace, navigational aids, Maximum Elevation figures (MEFs), and related data. The scale is 1:1,000,000. Tactical Pilotage Chart(TPC): The TPC is the standard worldwide medium-scale aeronautical chart series. These and other aeronautical navigation and planning charts provide essential cartographic data appropriate to scale, and are overprints with stable aeronautical information such as obstructions, aerodomes, special use airspace, and navigational aids. Maximum Elevation Figures (MEF's) and related data. Joint Operations Graphic-Air(JOG-A): The JOG-A is a standard Series 1501 modified for aeronautical use. Series 1501 charts are the standard DoD medium scale cartographic products and are produced from a common base. JOGs are geographically integrated charts, generally patterned on three-by-four-by-four sections of the International Map of the World (IMW) index systems. The number of JOG sheets within an IMV area varies with latitude. Designed to meet air use requirements. How to find: Digital Data What they are: ARC Digitized Raster Graphics (ADRG) are digital raster representations of paper graphic products. Maps are converted into digital data by raster scanning and transforms the data into the Equal Arc - Second Raster Map (ARC) system frame of reference. Most of our digital data products are produced by NIMA. USGS also produces digital datasets, such as their Digital elevation models (DEMs). Digital elevation models (DEMs). How to find: Digital data is indexed in the NIMA Digital Products Catalog. This catalog is Limited Distribution and is kept in the Information Services Office.
