Interpretación y proceso de producción de cartas instrumentales y manuales de vuelo.

Practically from the not so distant origins of the Aviation, the aeronautical charts have been, both in the planning as in the development of aerial missions, a tool of technical support of inestimable value for pilots and navigators. The information provided in these documents is very varied, so it becomes necessary to set up a wide variety of types of cards based on their specific utility. Thus, we find charts whose purpose is the tactical support to the air assets deployment and others whose purpose is to support the aircraft operation. This article described the charts whose characteristics and production process correspond to the latter group. Naturally, this type of documentation has had to adapt to the new technologies evolution, which has enabled a very remarkable increase in the data provided accuracy and that has opened a wide range of possibilities when presenting the information to the end user. That is why today this type of cartography publishes both in its classic version of paper as in different formats and digital supports. We hope this article will be useful for all those interested in knowing in more detail the nature of this exciting work regardless of their previous level of knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
