	Section 2.7 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Aeronautical charts are similar to nautical charts in that they are very accurate and exacting in every detail.
		A large percentage of military and recreational pilots will use the sectional aeronautical chart and fly by visual flight rules, which means that they stay in sight of the ground during their flight.
		When reporting landmarks for charts, be sure they are clearly visible from all sides from the air and are distinctive enough not to be confusing or add clutter to the chart.

		The National Aeronautical Charting Office is the organization responsible for the creation of the sectional charts and other VFR and IFR Charts that many of us use for navigation each time we fly.
		They are also responsible for many of the core databases and digital charts that crop up in third party navigation products and websites (you can read more about their mission here).
		Similarly, the ‘channel’ shown by the chart symbol merely shows the entrance to the pass and does not represent a safe course through the entire pass.
