The Pilots' Free Flight Atlas – USA / Canada / Mexico
The first Atlas designed for pilots that allows you to see immediately where
you are in relation to the airways structure, airports and objects on the
ground. The cartography includes mountain ranges, lakes, rivers, major highways,
railways, cities and towns. It covers United States, Canada, Mexico.
Base cartography is the US Road-Atlas 1: 2.000.000 which includes
mountain ranges, lakes, rivers, etc. . As well, all other elements such as cities
and towns. Parks and points of interest or historic value and of course, the
railways and motor-ways themselves.
To this, we have added
all airports in USA (over 5,500) and colour coded them by runway length /surface
and category , ie. International, Regional, Civil/Military, etc.. Additionally,
Special Use Airspace
are also shown making our new "Pilots' Atlas" the first of itï¾’s kind.
The increased use of RNAV and GPS coupled with the advent of ACAS has made
more direct routing possible resulting in a savings of time and fuel and more
efficient utilization of airspace. This has begun the move away from flying
along established airways creating the "Free Flight" concept where aircraft are
cleared direct to their destinations.
There are also navigational aids (VOR/DME, ADF), waypoints, VOLMET
frequencies and restricted airspace shown. The Atlas includes political maps,
distance and VOLMET broadcast maps, satellite pictures, and a city map section
with 11 cities. The Captain's Corner, 46 pages, contains a variety of
aeronautical information such as: ICAO/IATA airport directory, world aircraft
registrations, weather section, JAA planning minima, conversion tables, airport
signals and much more.
