After he charted the Suor-Uyata and Ulakhan-Sis ranges of the East Siberian Lowlands, Maydell reached the Indigirka. Going about upriver he found out that the Ulakhan-Sis was separated from the Alazeya Plateau to the south by the roughly wide plain of the Shangina. Магидович И. П., Магидович В. И.

Operational Navigation Chart
An aeronautical chart is a map designed to assist in the navigation of aircraft, much as nautical charts do for watercraft, or a roadmap does for drivers. Using these charts and other tools, pilots are able to determine their position, safe altitude, best route to a destination, navigation aids along the way, alternative landing areas in case of an in-flight emergency, and other useful information such as radio frequencies and airspace boundaries. There are charts for all land masses on Earth, and long-distance charts for trans-oceanic travel. Specific charts are used for each phase of a flight and may vary from a map of a particular airport facility to an overview of the instrument routes covering an entire continent (e.g., global navigation charts), and many types in between. Visual flight charts are categorized according to their scale, which is proportional to the size of the area covered by one map. The amount of detail is necessarily reduced when larger areas are represen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
