IFR Enroute Low Altitude Charts provide aeronautical information for navigation under instrument flight rules below 18,000 feet MSL. These four-color chart series includes:
- Air Traffic Services
- Airports that have an Instrument Approach Procedure or a minimum 3000' hard surface runway
- Airways/Route Data
- Cruising Altitudes
- Fixes/ATC Reporting Points
- Limits of controlled airspace
- Military Training Routes
- Off Route Obstruction Clearance Altitudes (OROCA)
- Radio aids to navigation
- RNAV Routes
- Special Use Airspace Areas
- Tabulations (MTRs, SUAs, MOAs, Airport data)
Area Charts, which show congested terminal areas at a large scale, are included with subscriptions to any conterminous U.S. Set Low (Full set, East or West sets). Charts are revised every 56 days.
