South Africa VFR chart detail

Charts General

Good morning! I recently got Navigraph and thinks its great, good job!

I just want to point out something, and I don’t know if it’s a Navigraph thing or on Jeppeson’s side (as I think Navigraph uses Jeppeson).

The graphs doesnt show all the VFR routes around certain aiports, it looks mostly like its around FAOR thats it’s missing (Our busiest airport). Some airports like FACT do have it correctly.

We get VFR routes from the SACAA site here: https://www.caa.co.za/industry-information/aeronautical-information-vfr-charts/

Below image shows the three VFR routes around FAOR. It’s not shown on Navigraph VFR. Whats interesting is, that Navigraph shows the reporting points as waypoints, but not routes like it does for other airports.

Hello,

The main reason why you see details like this on one chart/area versus another all depends on the information that Jeppesen receives. Typically, when commercial customers make a usecase request and submit the information to Jeppesen, those details gets added to the charts.

We can request these recommendations to Jeppesen, though.

That would be great thanks! In real life those routes around FAOR have been there many years and I dont think it will change any time soon.
