GEN 3.2  AERONAUTICAL CHARTS

3.2.1.  Responsible service

3.2.1.1 All the aeronautical charts for use by civil aviation are published under the authority of the aeronautical Information Management.
3.2.1.2 These charts are produced in accordance with specifications set down in ICAO Annex 4 and other pertinent ICAO documents.

3.2.2.  Maintenance of charts

3.2.2.1 The aeronautical charts included in the AIP are regularly kept up to date or are replaced by the amendments to the AIP. Significant revisions to aeronautical chart series are also included in the AIP and may be promulgated in the AIP SUP, if appropriate. Information concerning new maps and charts will be notified by Aeronautical Information Circular.
3.2.2.2 Items and information found after publication to have been incorrect at the aeronautical information date, are corrected immediately by NOTAM if they are of operational significance, attention being directed to the particular chart affected.
3.2.2.3 Revision of the aeronautical information on all charts is constantly in progress and amended charts are published as regularly as production resources permit. Topographical and hydro graphical information portrayed is also revised when necessary.

3.2.3.  Purchase arrangements

3.2.3.1 All charts are incorporated in the AIP and may be obtained from:

3.2.4.  Aeronautical chart series available

3.2.4.1 The following series of aeronautical charts are produced:
  1. World Aeronautical Chart - ICAO 1:1 000 000;

  2. Aerodrome Chart - ICAO;

  3. Aerodrome Obstacle Chart - ICAO type A (for each runway);

  4. En-route Chart - ICAO;

  5. Standard Departure Chart - Instrument (SID) - ICAO;

  6. Standard Arrival Chart - Instrument (STAR) - ICAO;

  7. Instrument Approach Chart - ICAO (for each runway and procedure type);

  8. Visual Approach Chart - ICAO.

  9. Aerodrome Parking / Docking Chart - ICAO

The charts currently available are listed under paragraph 5 of this subsection.

3.2.4.2   General Description of each Series
  1. World Aeronautical Chart - ICAO 1:1000 000

    This series is constructed on Lambert Conformal Conic Projection in accordance wit ICAO specifications. The chart provides information to satisfy visual air navigation and is also used as a pre - flight planning chart.

  2. Aerodrome Chart - ICAO

    This chart contains aerodrome data to provide flight crews with information that will be facilitate the ground movement of aircraft:

    1. from the aircraft stand to the runway; and

    2. from the runway to the aircraft stand.

      It also provides essential some operational information at Sal Island / Amilcar Cabral, Praia / Nelson Mandela, Rabil / Aristides Pereira and Sao Pedro / Cesaria Evora.

  3. Aerodrome Obstacle Chart - ICAO Type A

    This chart contains detailed information on obstacles in Sal Island / Amilcar Cabral, Praia / Nelson Mandela, Rabil / Aristides Pereira and Sao Pedro / Cesaria Evora Airports. This obstacle information provides the data necessary to enable an operator to comply with the operating limitations of ICAO Annex 6, Parts I and II, Chapter 5.

  4. En-route Chart - ICAO

    This chart is produced for the entire SAL OCEANIC FIR / UIR. This chart provides the flight crew information to facilitate navigation along ATS routes in compliance with Air Traffic Services procedures.

  5. Standard Departure Chart - Instrument (SID) - ICAO

    This chart is produced whenever a standard departure route - instrument has been established and cannot be shown with sufficient clarity on the Area Chart - ICAO. The aeronautical data shown include the aerodrome of departure and aerodrome(s) which affect the designated standard departure route - instrument. This chart provides the flight crew with information that will enable them to comply with the designated standard departure route - instrument from the take - off phase to the en - route phase.

  6. Standard Arrival Chart - Instrument (STAR) - ICAO

    This chart is produced for all aerodromes used by civil aviation where instrument approach procedures have been established. This chart provides the flight crew with information that will enable them to perform an approved instrument approach procedure to the runway of intended landing including the missed approach procedure and where applicable, associated holding patterns.

  7. Instrument Approach Chart - ICAO (for each runway and procedure type)

    This chart provides the flight crew with information that will enable them to perform an approved instrument procedure to the runway of intended landing including the missed approach procedure and where applicable, associated holding patterns.

    This chart is produced for all aerodromes used by civil aviation where instrument approach procedures have been established.

  8. Visual Approach Chart - ICAO

    This chart provides flight crew with information which enable them to transit from the enroute / descent to approach phases of flight to the runway of intended landing by means of visual reference.

    This chart is produced for aerodromes used by civil aviation where:

    1. only limited navigation facilities are available; or

    2. radio communication facilities are not available; or

    3. no adequate aeronautical charts of the aerodrome and its surroundings at 1:500 000 or greater scale are available; or

    4. visual approach procedures have been established.

  9. Aerodrome Parking / Docking Chart - ICAO

    This supplementary chart provides flight crew with detailed information to facilitate the ground movement of aircraft between the taxiway and the aircraft stands and the parking / docking of aircraft.

3.2.5.  List of aeronautical charts available

3.2.5.1 The available charts are part of the AIP. The charts are not for sale separately.
3.2.5.2 A detailed list of charts related to each individual airport is given in the relevant aerodrome subsection, AD 2.24. For each aerodrome there is at least an aerodrome chart and a visual approach chart published. A detailed list of charts related to en - route and area can be seen at ENR 6.
