Aus and NZ Charts/Plates
Hi guys,
Looking at making the move over to Aussie in search of a job, however I'm having a little trouble understand all the charts/plates etc.
So, in NZ we have Volumes 1-4, containing the aerodrome plates, DAPs etc. From what I understand, Australia has DAPs East and West, for all the IFR stuff,
AIP package for all the procedures etc, and an ERSA- equivalent of Volume 4, will all the aerodrome plates and basic information.
However, compared to the Vol 4 in NZ, the airport diagrams seem to be quite basic. I guess not as much information is required?
In terms of charts, we have the VPC, and the VNCs, ranging from 1:500000 down to 1:125000. From what I can see, in Aussie, WAC cover a very broad range (similar to the VPC for planning?) and maybe used for Navigating outside control zones? VNCs for navigation in control zones, then the terminal area charts for the obvious.
I assume for going north, the basic thing to have would be the ERSA, required WACs and maybe a VNC for the Darwin area?
Thanks in advance.
Ben
