We have also built aprocedure visualization which makes it very easy to find you way inand out of the airspace around an airport. This release also comeswith an easy to use route calculator which finds the shortest pathbetween airports respecting both North Atlantic Tracks (NAT) and FreeRoute Airspace (FRA) rules. You may also overlay routes on atopographic and political world map. /images/notams/notams19/navi1004/example1t.jpg /images/notams/notams19/navi1004/example2t.jpgIn short: Procedure visualization: Use the SID, STAR and Approach overviews to find suitable procedures that match the routingChart overlay: Superposition a georeferenced procedure chart on top of the enroute chart for increased situational awareness.Route calculation: Easy to use route calculator which handles North Atlantic Tracks (NAT) and Free Route Airspace (FRA).SimBrief Integration: Transfer your latest Operational Flight Plan (OFP) from SimBrief.Intelligent Procedure Selector: Procedures matching transition point, initial approach fix, or runway of the current route are shown first.This YouTube video presents the new features: Navigraph Charts is an iPad app that offers updated Jeppesen IFR charts to the flight simulation community.

New Version of Navigraph Charts Released /images/notams/notams19/navi0528/navi0528.jpg[stockholm, Sweden - 28 MAY 2019] The Navigraph Development Team isproud to announce that the long anticipated new version of NavigraphCharts is now available for downloadhere. What Is It?Navigraph Charts is a software for flight simulator pilots tosearch any airspace in the world for waypoints, navaids, andairways. With its interactive enroute chart and a worldwide coverageof Jeppesen charts at 6,800 airports in 230 countries it is the mostcomprehensive and popular software of its kind. With Navigraph Simlinkit is possible to connect Navigraph Charts to simulators such asLockheed Martin Prepar3D, Microsoft Flight Simulator X and LaminarResearch X-Plane to see the aircraft move across the charts. /images/notams/notams19/navi0528/charts-overlay-moving-maps-okbk-omdb-vute3d.jpgWhat's New?Users of the previous version will recognize Navigraph Charts as areference software that lets you search and organize airportcharts. However, the new version has an updated user interface toaccommodate some highly requested and anticipated features covered inthis video: Route CalculationColorful Route String VisualizationProcedure VisualizationIntelligent Procedure SelectorMap OverlaySimBrief IntegrationRoute Calculation - A pilot can plan a flight between twoairports and ask Navigraph Charts to calculate a route. Optimized forshortest distance the suggested route will use the closest transitionpoints near the airports. The calculator supports NAT and FRArouting. The route calculator has been designed to be very easy to useand doesn't have very many settings. More features may be added as wereceive user feedback. /images/notams/notams19/navi0528/colorful-route-string.jpgColorful Route String Visualization - Whether you decide tocalculate the route, or build one yourself by clicking waypoints, theairports; runways; procedures and waypoints are all represented ascolorful pills in the flight panel making it easy to navigate in theCharts software. Procedure Visualization - Once you have a route, you canvisualize the departure procedures on the enroute map to see which SIDthat fits the selected runway and transition point. Similarly, at thearrival airport, you can visualize the arrival and approach proceduresas brightly colored tracks into the airport in order to choose thebest one. /images/notams/notams19/navi0528/intelligent-procedure-selectors.jpgIntelligent Procedure Selector - When selecting procedures,we have listed the most appropriate ones at the top, so that you don'thave to scroll to find the one that fits your runway and transitionpoint. Map Overlay - While selecting procedures you can alsosuperposition a procedure chart on top of the enroute chart to betterunderstand how it connects to your route. We find that especially whencombined with the moving maps feature, pilots get an increasedsituational awareness as all relevant information is displayed inproximity to the ownship icon as it travels across the procedurechart. SimBrief Integration - While Navigraph Charts can calculatea route, some of you may want to import your own routes. You can dothis by copy pasting a text route string or by importing a PLN file,but the easiest and most flexible way is to enter your SimBriefusername and let Navigraph Charts fetch the latest flight plan fromSimBrief. /images/notams/notams19/navi0528/route-calculator2.jpgHow Does It Work?Navigraph Charts has a demo mode, but users need to have an activeCharts or Ultimate subscription for full functionality.
