Jeppesen Legend Manual

[Yohan20]

Greetings all,
I am trying to find a jeppesen Legend manual. I have never heard of it..until one of my friends informed me about it.
Does this refer to all legends that are part of a chart for navigation purposes?
Also I am trying to land a job in Southeast Asia, and of of the pilots indicated "jeppesen in detail including all the inforrmation on the legend..."
Confused.

HELP

[None]

It's in the Introduction section

If you do not have a friend who could let you borrow his Jepps to look over the legend, try this:

Perhaps it might be of value.
Good luck.

hi

the legend manual is pretty much part of every Jepp subscription. If you are instrument rated or hold an ATP and haven't seen this, I would be quite concerned.

to obtain this , you must PAY $ to JEPP and subscribe or at least purchase the legend.

I know that if I were interviewing someone for a flying job, I would pull up an unusual Jepp chart and quiz you on everything on the chart. Things like visual flight path symbols, visual descent point (vdp) would be very fair game.

I would also ask you what, "ceiling required" meant. Here in the USA we don't use that phrase, but it is still popular out in the other parts of the world.

it shouldn't be hard to look up the jeppesen company and contact them to purchase not only the legend, but a course in how to read Jepp charts.


believe me, if you don't know your jepps, you aren't my kind of pilot.



happy landings

So what would you think when I pull out my Jepp Manual and look these exotic symbols up? Would that be ok, or would you expect it all to just be known?

HI,
If you wanted a job from me I would expect you to know it. If we were playing chess I would want you to know the rules of that game. Same for flying...know your stuff and people will respect you and the way you fly. Otherwise you will be known as a weak pilot.
Now, everyone might have a question and offer to look up something really nutty. maybe one thing in 20 or so, but if you had to look up what a VDP or visual flight track was I wouldn't think too much of your knowledge as a pilot.
Sadly, a picture is worth a thousand words, I could show you something on a VFR sectional chart that you would need a week to figure out.
I won't mince words...if you don't "know" things cold, then don't expect me to think too highly of your skills.
by the way, I think all pilots should "know" the following books:
"Stick and Rudder"
"Fly the Wing"
"Handling the Big Jets"
"Weather Flying"
"Fate is the hunter"
"Spirit of St. Louis"
happy landings

We don't have visual flight tracks here as far as I'm aware so maybe I'm thinking it is a much more exotic thing than it is in your part of the world.

Personally I think you should know everything you're likely to come up against regularly, and be able to quickly reference anything that is rare.

Edit: I take that back, we do have visual tracks (and I've flown approaches that use them) for some reason I thought you were talking about enroute charts, carry on . And I agree, you should know almost everything that comes up on an approach chart.
