Terminal Procedures Publication Information
Terminal Procedures Publications are published in volumes
covering the conterminous U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
Included in the Terminal Procedures Publications are:
- Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP) Charts
- Departure Procedure (DP) Charts
- Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR) Charts
- Charted Visual Flight Procedures (CVFP)
- Airport Diagrams
IAP Charts are designed to provide an IFR descent
from the enroute environment to a point where a safe landing can
be made.
DP Charts are Air Traffic Control (ATC)-coded
departure procedures which have been established at certain
airports to simplify clearance delivery procedures.
STAR Charts are ATCcoded IFR arrival routes
established for certain airports to simplify clearance delivery
procedures.
CVFPs are an operational technique designed to move
air traffic safely and expeditiously. In addition to conventional
visual approach procedures, it has been necessary to specify
routes/altitudes to enhance noise abatement at some
locations.
CVFPs have been developed to provide a pictorial
display of these visual arrival routes.
Airport Diagrams are specifically designed to assist
in the movement of ground traffic at locations with complex
runway/taxiway configurations and provide information for
updating geodetic position navigational systems aboard aircraft.
Airport Diagrams can also be found in back of the
Airport/Facilities Directories.
