Jeppesen plates can be intimidating at first glance. Let's break down how to read one by doing a mock ILS approach.

Perfect timing! I JUST got the jepp subscription for foreflight and was hoping you had a video for this. Are you in my head!?!? if you aren't, please do one for their sid/star/airport charts!!! :)

We're looking to do Jepp departures next!

Jep plates are awesome when you get used to them - particularly if you fly in different countries. The consistent formatting makes you feel right at home no matter where you find yourself

[@matthewmccain4696]

As usual, great video! I have just started using Jepp charts so your timing couldn't be better. Keep up the awesome content!

Flying the Hawker for a company now and it has jep plates in the FMS. I was so lost at the beginning. This video actually helped clear things up a little. I must admit though, nothing beats the Canadian plates. So much information and well depicted. I was used to the FAA plates when flying in the US with the RCAF but these jep plates are starting to grow on me.

What's crazy is, now that I'm an airline pilot and I use these daily, the FAA charts are intimidating lmao

[@jakew9887]

Excellent presentation. What defines CZIMR as an IAF since I don't see the (IAF) identifier? Thanks

[@Bushpilot.]

Thank you

Minor nitpick, it's hectopascal (hPa), not millibar (though they're identical).

[@anon0815de]

Exactly, Bar is not a SI unit, but Pascals are. ICAO recommends the use of SI units, though most of the world is still stuck on feet and knots as well.

Is it possible for you to explain the VOR-C RWY 35L approach to KHND - cannot figure it out. I am not a real pilot tho, just a fan of flying.

[@flightinsight9111]

Looks like a fun one!

Skyvector is government chart?

[@johnopalko5223]

Yes.

[@jetjock60]

Yes, they use U.S. govt data.

[@jetjock60]

I also believe there is a print error on this particular chart. The narrator states that the fix "CZIMR" is an IAF. This should be stated in the plan view by the name, just as it does by IGN. I verified this against the govt chart.

[@flightinsight9111]

I think you're right. I noticed this as we were putting it together and couldn't come up with any reason the "IAF" isn't on the Jepp chart other than omitted by mistake.

[@jetjock60]

@@flightinsight9111 No worries, the error is on their part.

[@jjchello]

That’s scary. Charts are a place where printing errors can be dangerous.

Jepp charts do have airport diagrams. For larger aerodromes , it will be on a separate sheet of paper with a fold out if necessary for scale. For smaller fields it is located on the rear side of the first approach chart. They are larger and much more useful than U.S. govt (AeroNav) depictions.
