2. The focus of our development has been to create a modern chart specification, taking into consideration recent research and our vast experience as a chart producer. In this presentation we have highlighted the changes, so please take some time to go through it.
A brief overview of the new features:
Page numbering and chart name. Chart frame including frame text. Introduction of Communication box on several types of charts. Enhanced symbols. Improved presentation of altitudes. Presentation of Take-off minima on aerodrome charts. Depiction of Landing minima.

GENERAL – Main headings
General. Common regulations and information.
Departure. Regulations and information referring to departing aircraft.
When there is not enough information to issue a GENERAL page (e.g. smaller aerodromes) the information will be presented on the AERODROME chart under the common heading “General Information”.
Chart type GENERAL can be combined (on the same page) with chart type GROUND, called GENERAL / GROUND.

GROUND
Chart GROUND comprises details of parking stands, taxiway system, traffic blocks, intersection take-off positions etc. which cannot be shown on the AERODROME chart.
