Chart Legends

Hello All

I have interviews coming up, and see that many tech parts of the interviews include questions on Jepp charts. I have looked online for hours to find some sort of legend for the enroute charts. I have the legends for the approach plates, but....

I have always used NOS and hoping to not look like a total idiot in the interviews, any ideas or website addresses where I can download a legend?

Thanks for your help!

Your best bet is probably to find someone who uses Jepps regularly and take a look at theirs or see if they have an old set laying around. Instrument training books like the Jepp Instrument manual also have reproductions of jepp charts side by side with NOS so you can compare. Your situation is exactly why I always recommended students start using Jepps from the get go if they can afford it. If you have the time, it might be worthwhile to see if you can get a "cheap" package from Jepp, like maybe for one state or something.

Buy any set of Jepp plates and study the legend that is included in the front of every set. Might even be a good idea to purchase the region where you airline's base is. The legend includes discriptions of every possible symbol on the plates as well as the enroute charts.

Just go buy a set. What's $20 when a job is at stake?

WOW! That was fast!

Fantastic! I did not think of that! Thank you! I had dug up the Jepp Instrument Manual I used a bunch of years ago, but found the information I was looking for. I have a basic understanding of the enroute charts, but some of the obscure symbols...

I am going to order a set and bone up some more.... Thank goodness for last minute planning (grin), I have a interview w/ ExpressJet tomorrow and just found about the interview gouge sites.

THank you all for your help!

They pull out a Mexican approach chart and have you breif it like you would in the airplane. Don't get flustered by the Mexican chart, they work just like any other Jepp, just be sure to read the notes. The other Jepp type questions I was asked were about the enroute charts, so no biggy. Hope to see you on the line.

It's been awhile, but last time I interviewed for a "regional","commuter", whatever, they asked what type of approach plates/charts I was used to using. Being a flight instructor, I could only afford NOS. So they had those, and asked questions about those.
Again that was back in '97-'98 ish.
