Aeronautical Charting (Initial Training - Theoretical)
Aeronautical charting plays a critical role in the safe and efficient conduct of flight operations. In an increasingly data-driven and performance-based environment, the need for qualified personnel trained in the fundamentals of aeronautical charting has grown significantly.
This initial training course provides comprehensive instruction aligned with ICAO standards and guidance material, ensuring that participants develop a strong foundational understanding of charting principles, regulatory frameworks, symbology, and production techniques.
The course is structured to support operational staff involved in aeronautical data processing, chart compilation, AIM services, and related functions, in both civil and military aviation environments.
