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.
