how do I know that my charts are current? I look at them and they say 'effective upon receipt' on the enroute, but how do I know that there isn't a newer one? there is no 'from 1/1 to 4/1' on there. I heard I can check online, but not too sure where on their website? (its a jepp chart)

oh and there are 2 types of compulsory reporting point fixes on tehre, whats teh diff?

there is a black triangle, and a black triangle with a dot in it on the legend, it says 'compulsory reporting point' for both of them, so I was just curious.

and ya know how after 14K, the grid MOCAs become red? any idea why its 14K? (or just a random number?)

I'll think of few more as I remember.

thanks dudes!

On jepp inroute charts a white triangle with no dot is a non-compulsory report point, a white triangle with a dot is an on-request report point and a black triangle with a white dot is a compulsory point. I don't recall an all black one:drool:

If your used to NACO charts and new to jepp charts You might want to check out the Jeppesen Instrument procedures guide
here is one link http://www.mypilotstore.com/mypilotstore/sep/2560 but you might check you local flight school or better yet amazon for less expensive

This book explains most everything you'll need to know about jepp charts

Does anyone switch between the two versions? I use both the NACO and Jepp charts. I really don't have any trouble switching between the two.
 
The way you know they are current is by having the cover page on the front of the book. In my companies case, we use the Q service. We have our regular binders for USA, Canada, and Mexico. Then we have an update binder for each set. You check the q's first, if there is nothing there, you go to the regular book. We get updates as they come out. Every 90 days a brand new set comes out.

eh? if you have S FLA, look over bimini VOR. there is a black triangle with a dot. never seena white one with a dot.

they asked me this on my stage check, and its where I got busted. along with not having a clue as to the pressure inside the aneroid wafer's pressure inside (which is apparently vacuum)

That's when you ask them why it matters. When is the last time you had an altimeter failure/VSI failure and whipped out your toolset and fixed it. I'm all for understanding the systems of your airplane, but if that question gets pulled on me, we're boxing.
 
My company charts have a list of every chart and their date on the front, kinda like an index or something. Every revision a new list comes out with the effective dates that are the most current.

And thats a BS question about the vacuum. How would my knowledge of this help me in any way as a pilot? None.....

I'm guessing you mean grid MORA's. Think about it this way: are there any other reasons that 14,000' MSL is an important altitude?
 
You couldn't find this phantom black dotted triangle in the legend included with your jepp charts? Mine are in the crew room at ORD, so I can't look right now, but I'd be shocked if it wasn't in there. (Not that I haven't been shocked before...)

As previously stated, airline Jepp books contain a list of EVERY single chart in the book, and what date it was issued, so you can look up whether you have all the charts and whether your chart is current. It's called the LEP, or Log of Effective Pages, and a new one comes out with every update.
 
You can check if the charts you have are the current charts by going here: http://www.jeppesen.com/wlcs/index.jsp?section=resources&content=publications_notam.html select your area and it will tell you what is current. There is also a calendar on the Jepp website that tells you when new revisions will come out http://www.jeppesen.com/download/misc/AWM_Calendar.pdf

There are 4 different types of reporting points on jepp charts. 1. Equilateral all black triangle is a compulsory reporting point. 2. Equilateral triangle with a white inside is a non-compulsory reporting point. 3. Isosceles triangle that is all black is a low-altitude compulsory reporting point. 4. Isosceles triangle with a white middle is a low-altitude non-compulsory reporting point.

14K being red alerts you to check your oxygen usage.
