IFR Enroute Charts Explained | Airways on IFR Charts | IFR Training

This video explains the basics IFR enroute charts. Airways, symbols, and navaids are covered here. Be on the look out for later videos in the coming weeks that will dive deeper into the low enroute chart for areas like minimum altitudes, airspace, and communications.

Man you make the best videos. I'm working on my Instrument now and your explanations get me over the hump.

[@diaryrecorded5524]

Would be AMAZING to be trained by you!! I am taking an intro flight at a club tomorrow and meeting a CFI but you sound like the big brother I never had! and wish I did!! Much love to you! Thank you isn't enough I feel but thank you!

[@flightinsight9111]

Have a great intro flight! Let us know how it goes.

Good video, but there is one important correction: the airport information for a towered airport can be shown in blue OR green. Blue airports have DOD procedures, green do not. Many towered airports are listed in green.

[@samuelmonroe4415]

Almost correct. Blue means the airport has both a low altitude AND high altitude (usually referred to as a penetration approach, starts from mid-teens altitude for jet fuel efficiency) approaches listed in the DoD Flight Information Program publications (FLIPs), whereas green only has low altitude FAA approaches.

[@raccoonair]

Excellent, you shine by avoiding the obvious and make it really interesting; looking forward to the sequels.

[@flightinsight9111]

Thanks. Hopefully not glossing over too much of the obvious, but I like to get into the "why" of some of these concepts too rather than just listing things out.

[@raccoonair]

Great content and even more digestible than the Sporty’s video course I paid $250 bucks for. Like everyone said, keep up the great work, you re a natural

I used Sporty’s for PPL but didn’t like their IR course. They gave me a refund and I bought this one!

Honestly best ground information out there. Great job sir

[@tnflygirl]

I’m only liking this video because I fly out of DKX in Knoxville… just kidding! Love learning as I’m training for my instrument 😀

[@jakew9887]

Great video. Thanks. Why the discrepancy with the distance from the Snowbird VOR along the V136 airway? It lists 16 miles below the airway and then you see the 17 miles at the switchover point.

[@flightinsight9111]

The mileages are rounded to the nearest whole mile. The segment length of 16 is the ground distance, while the 17 at the changeover point would indicate DME. I’m going to guess that he slant range error at the 7000 feet MEA would cause the DME to read 17 if rounded up. Just a guess though, you often see these small rounding errors.

[@flightinsight9111]

Thanks so much. Have fun training!

[@HeinzMcDurgen]

Be careful with talking about Longitude and Latitude. I understand how you're explaining it here, but while you're using the Longitude line for reference, that's actually measuring Latitude. It's 10 minutes of Latitude per 10 minutes - or 1nm per minute. I've had a lot of students mix that up. Measuring Longitude doesn't work for the reason you explained. Great video!

[@alex14franklin]

Great video! But be careful on the paddles when talking about identifying a fix. The VOR frequency is listed first then the VOR identifier then the Military frequency not DME.

[@johnstuart5352]

the information about the blue and green airport is wrong; refer to the ifr low and high legends. otherwise good video

[@jaxav8r]

A blue airpot on an enroute chart means it has a tower? Uhhhhhhhhhh I don't think so. It generally means it's military. Technically it means it has an IAP that's included in the DoD FLIPs...which basically means it's a military filed with an IAP. high enough to allow descent for high-flying military aircraft. Dude come on.

[@chrisradzanowski5376]

Blue and green airports means they have an IAP approach. Brown airports do now have published instrument approach procedures. Blue, green and brown airports can be either civil or military airports. The shape of the airport symbol on the chart defines the airport type. Please refer to the IFR Enroute Low Altitude Legend chart.

[@grimmsyy894]

@@chrisradzanowski5376 blue on the enroute is exactly what he says. Look at any blue airports IAPs and you will see they have HI versions of the approaches as well as the normal ones.

[@chrisradzanowski5376]

@@grimmsyy894Blue airports do not basically mean it is a military field. Blue airports can be either civil, civil-military, military, a heliport or a sea civil airport. I will cite the IFR chart legend: "Facilities in BLUE or green have an approved Instrument Approach Procedure and/or RADAR MINIMA published in either the FAA Terminal Procedures Publications or the DoD FLIPs. Those in BLUE have an Instrument Approach Procedure and/or RADAR MINIMA published at least in the High Altitude DoD FLIPs. Facilities in BROWN do not have a published Instrument Approach Procedure or RADAR MINIMA." ~ IFR ENROUTE LOW ALTITUDE - U.S. chart.

Yes very helpful! What are the 2 blue diamonds close to the intersection of V136 & T323? One of those circle with 4 pointers labeled APPLS? The other one has an X flag?

[@jollylawyer9999]

Those are gps waypoints. The gps waypoint that as the flag with the x shows that you have to cross that waypoint at a certain altitude. The name of that gps waypoint is KIDBE and shows you have to cross it at 5900 when heading southbound depicted as 5900S.
