• Abstract:
  This report documents an analysis and interview effort conducted to identify common operational errors made using ; current Instrument Approach Plates (IAP), Standard Terminal Arrival Route (STAR) charts. Standard Instrument Departure ; (SID) charts, and the preferences of pilots regarding current chart format designs. In addition, pilot preferences or ; comments relevant to the presentation of IAP information in advanced electronic format were solicited and noted. The ; analysis included data from prior studies and a variety of accident, incident, and operational error databases. ; Representatives from flight operation user groups and charting organizations were interviewed to gain insight into ; operational errors, pilot preferences and the factors which influence chart design. The IAP user groups interviewed ; consisted primarily of training centers and individuals representing the full spectrum of IAP users (General Aviation, ; Corporate Aviation, Air Taxi Part 135 Operators, and Air Carrier Part 121 Operators). Cartographic organizations ; interviewed included Jeppesen Sanderson Inc., NOAA and the FAA. For comparison, a non-US based Carrier and chart ; provider (KLM) was queried by mail.
