Jeppesen Approach Plate Help
 
Got an interview coming up and trying to brush up on the jepp. plates. Anyone have a link to a website where it has the legend of all the symbols. I found it awhile ago but can't find it anymore.

Not sure about a site that just shows the legend...but you should check out the chart clinic reprints. They might help.

If you have the Jeppesen Instrument/Commercial it is an OK resource. Just try to find a couple hi and low charts, a few ils and vor dme approaches (with arc)and start finger flying them. Youll figure them out they are very very intuitive.

I think that is the first time I have ever heard someone coin the phrase "finger flying". Maybe its just the memphis heat but that is hilarious

Sheltered life. XJT makes you finger fly for the interview and most people do it when getting their IFR and CFII ratings.

When you finger fly an approach, what exactly are you doing?

Dunno. Using the A/P and FMS???

Why not use the legend at the front of the Jepp airway manual?

Place your finger on the approach plate and walk through how you would shoot the approach (how you would identify the various fixes, when you can descend and how low, how you'll identify the missed approach point, how you'll fly the missed, etc).

And like somebody else said, try to get ahold of the chart legend and a couple Jepp plates and enroute charts to review.
