Killer Charts

Jeppesen is updating symbology for STARs and SIDs charts. As part of the change, Jepp contracted with an outside firm to conduct an operational risk analysis. After an in-depth evaluation of the mitigation possibilities TRS recommended to Jeppesen to create a training tutorial.

Key Takeaways:

Aeronautical charts, though vital for safety, are prone to errors and omissions which, combined with pilot misinterpretation, can lead to significant safety risks and accidents.
Pilots frequently make errors in chart usage, particularly under high workload or when equipment is inoperative, and inconsistency in symbology between different chart providers exacerbates these challenges.
Effective mitigation requires comprehensive training on precise chart interpretation and complex adjustments, alongside diligent pre-approach preparation and active strategies such as highlighting critical information.

Is the answer to all chart risks training? Is the training received sufficient? Does the rote memorization of esoteric symbology keep you safe? Are examiners asking the right questions of instrument and ATP applicants when validating knowledge?
