_bm33
Meteorological report required (unless instructed otherwise), giving air temperature, wind, icing, turbulence, clouds and other significant weather. Report to controlling ground station, or station indicated.


_bm34
Holding pattern. DME figures, when provided, give the DME distance of the fix as the first figure followed by the outbound limit as the second figure.


_bm35
Length of holding pattern in minutes when other than standard.


_bm36
NavData identifier [in square brackets] is included when the fix or mileage break is unnamed, or named with other than a five character name and no country assigned identifier. Its use is to assist the pilot with an on board NavData database to associate database information with chart information. The fix officially named "115°W" is carried in the database as "11YEU" (included after October 14, 1994.) NavData identifiers are Jeppesen derived only, and should not be used for ATC flight plan filing or used in ATC communications.


_bm37
Fix name with Minimum Crossing Altitude (MCA) showing airway, altitude, and direction, and Minimum Reception Altitude (MRA).


_bm38
Official fix name (with country assigned identifier in parentheses). Several countries throughout the world assign identifiers for use in flight plans.


_bm39
LF bearings forming a fix are to the navaid.


_bm40
VHF radials forming a fix are from the navaid.


_bm41
VHF frequency and identifier included when off chart or remoted.


_bm42
LF frequency, identifier and Morse Code included when off chart or remoted.


_bm43
Arrow along airway points from the navaid designating the reporting point. Other published radials may be used if they are greater than 30 degrees from the airway being used and are not beyond the COP.


_bm44
Fix formed by 55 DME from MAZ navaid.


_bm45
"D" indicates DME fix and distance from the station that provides the DME mileage.



_bm46


_bm47
Airway and route designators. Negative (white letters in blue) designators are used for distinction.


_bm48
A-Amber. Some countries use the phonetic alphabet in lieu of "colored" designations, as Alpha in lieu of Amber, Golf in lieu of Green, etc.


_bm49
ADR-Advisory Route,
AR-Atlantic Route, Canada Alpha Route


_bm50
ATS-Designated route without published identifier


_bm51
AWY-Airway


_bm52
BR-Bahama Route, Canada Bravo Route
B-Blue, Bravo


_bm53
Direct Route,
D-(suffix) Advisory service only


_bm54
DOM-Domestic Route. Use by foreign operators requires special authorization.
F-(suffix) Flight Information


_bm55
G-Green, Golf
GR-Gulf Route
H or HL-High Level
J-Jet
L-(suffix) L/MF airway


_bm56
NAT-Route associated with the North Atlantic Organized Track structure.


_bm57
OTR-Oceanic Transition Route
PDR-Predetermined Route


_bm58
R-Red, Romeo


_bm59
R-(suffix) RNAV route
RR-Canada Romeo Route
SP-Supersonic RNAV route


_bm60
U-Upper
UL-(prefix) RNAV route


_bm61
V-Victor
V-(suffix) VOR airway
W-White, Whiskey


_bm62
One Way Airway


_bm63 _bm64
Suffix 1 or 1, 2 or 1, 2, 3 gives the Conditional Route Category (Europe).


_bm65
MEA (Minimum Enroute Altitude), shown as altitude or flight level.


_bm66
Metric MEA converted to feet using standard altimeter setting.


_bm67
On some chart series, altitudes are provided in both feet and meters. The letter "M" following an altitude in italic type is the metric altitude.


_bm68
MEA is established with a gap in nav-signal coverage.


_bm69
Directional MEAs as indicated.


_bm70
MOCA (Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitude).


_bm71
Route MORA (Route Minimum Off-Route Altitude). See glossary.


_bm72
MAA (Maximum Authorized Altitude), shown as altitude or flight level.


_bm73
MEA change, limit of MAA applicability or MAA change. Also MOCA or MORA change when MOCA or MORA is charted with no MEA. Symbol is omitted at navaid.


_bm74
Mileages. Total mileage between navaids _bm75 is positioned along respective airway centerline. Total mileage may have directional pointers _bm76 when there are multiple airway designators. The pointers parallel the airway centerlines along which the mileage applies.


_bm77
VOR radial & route bearings (magnetic)


_bm78
VOR Radial and route bearings (True in the Northern Domestic Airspace of Canada).


_bm79
ADF Bearings (inbound or outbound) Bearings are magnetic unless followed by a "T" indicating True.
ADF Bearings include an arrow to indicate the direction of flight or, when used to designate Fixes, direction to the station. In remote or oceanic areas where ground based navigation aids are not available, the arrow indicates the direction of flight.


_bm80
ADF bearings (True at track midpoint in the Northern Domestic Airspace of Canada).


_bm81
The navigation frequency COP (changeover point) between two stations is indicated by mileages from the station to the point of change. Omitted when at midpoint or turning point


_bm82
Means even thousands altitudes/flight levels are used in the direction of the arrow and odd thousands in the opposite direction. For application of this symbol above FL 290, the flight levels 310, 350, 390, etc. (left half of the cruising level rose) are considered even. The symbol is shown where altitude/flight level assignment is opposite that shown in the standard cruising altitude/flight level rose.


_bm83
Means all altitudes, even and odd, are available in the direction indicated.


_bm84
Means odd thousands altitude/flight level per the above definition. "O" is used only on one way airways to show that odd altitude/flight level assignments apply.


_bm85
Prior Permission Required from ATC for flight in the direction of the arrow.

AIRWAY NAVAID/REPORTING POINT BY-PASS
When an airway passes over or turns at a navaid or reporting point, but the navaid is not to be utilized for course guidance and/or no report is required, the airway centerline passes around the symbol. In cases where a by-pass symbol cannot be used, an explanatory note is included.
_bm87
Airway J-26 does not utilize the navaid or reporting point.


_bm88
Airway J-14 turns at the navaid or reporting point but does not utilize them. A mileage break "X" is included to further indicate a turn point.


_bm89
Airway V-76 does not utilize the navaid. A note indicating the proper use of the navaid is included.


_bm90
Airway V-76 does not utiIize the Int. A note indicating the proper use of the lnt is included.
