Abstract A new format for instrument approach procedure charts has been designed. Special attention was paid to improving the readability of communication frequencies, approach course heading and missed approach instructions. Selected components of the new design were evaluated in the laboratory. Other details, including design trade-offs, were determined from expert opinion. One version of the new charts is intended for use by large air carriers. A field evaluation of this chart is being conducted through the combined efforts of the federal government, a commercial publisher of instrument approach plates and several major airlines.
