Question on US 3/4 HI Chart
 

On the Jeppesen US 3/4 chart (#4 side) HI Chart parallel to J174 southeast northeast)bound there are brown dashed lines that connect between intersections. I assume they are airways. They are named VS1 VS2 VS3 up to VS7.

I cannot find an example in the Jeppesen introduction guide.

Any detailed information would be appreciated

Is it just an American Airlines tailored item?

Victor airways http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_airways

Not an american airline specific thing, also used north of the border

Hi


I looked through the Wikipedia entry.

No specific references to dashed brown lines or VS1 etc.

:ugh:

we had them on our hi charts too...but the chart it self explained what they were in the LEGEND. You may have to look closely.

I don't have one in front of me now and never used those routes, but suffice to say these were agreed upon routes between the company and ATC using available nav on our planes. Some were based on the low altitude structure, which can't be used in the high altitude structure.

(ie) too much distance between nav aids for altitude. sometimes we got a clearance that said: between x and y via the radials of Victor so and so

do look on the chart itself, all over and you may find the answer. sort of shortcuts.
