You can also rent Jepp chart review, both the Jepp-produced and King versions, from Smartflix

Jeppesen Chart Training
King Complete Jeppesen Review

That, with the intro sections from a set of Jepps (you can get a single-issue "Airway Manual Express" coverage for about $40) and a $5 8.5"x5.5" binder from Office Depot to hold it and you've got an indispensable reference book for less than $50.

I was just about to suggest the king videos. I burnt them to my ipod so I could watch them at the gym and stay awake. Plus I bought the little book that Jeppesen has of their legend. Read it cover to cover the night before an interview.

I found a great piece of software called Jeppchart Training. It's pretty good and reminds me of the King training. PM me if anyone is interested in this software and I can provide you with a link.

I think what defines mountainous terrain has to do with the gradient at which the terrain rises, more than 2,000' within 10nm or something. It's funny how much stuff you can cram into your head for an interview and then completely forget a couple of months later.

hey stealth, that program is a Godsend... it's got a ton of information about the Jepp charts and is really well put together. I've used it for interview prep and to answer personal questions... well worth the time to go through it.

It has all the symbols you could ever come across on a Jepp approach chart, enroute chart here in the US and a few countries that use different symbology (Australia is one I remember).

I second that. Get the Jepp legend. If you don't have one or can't find one then send me a PM and I'll mail a set to you. Lord knows I've got a few sets to spare with all the revision crap we get at RAH.

If you have a local pilot shop, check to see if they will sell you their expired Jepps at a discount. When I was instructing in a sim every day, I needed Jepps for LOFT training. The pilot store at our airport would sell us their outdated stuff for about 50% of the regular cost.
