In the notes section of Jepps, what does "Transition Level" or "Transition Altitude" mean? Obviously FL180 is a transition altitude because you change from local to standard altimeter setting, but why is it in the notes of certain approach plates?
Edit: It's probably because this is not always the case in other countries, so their pilots probably would like to see that on the charts when they are flying into a US airport. Is that correct?

Mexico often times has the transition altitude at 18,000, and the transition level of FL190

Everything you could ever want to know about Jeppesen charts can be found in these articles: http://www.jeppesen.com/wlcs/index.j...tions_aopa.jsp
Don't worry about the first 2 groups of links there, the one you want is 3rd group, "chart clinic reprints".

Don't buy the DVDs, rent them and burn copies if you must ever go back to hear Martha King give you the deets
on a compulsory reporting point.
www.smartflix.com
Seriously, I rented from there and got everything I needed for an interview. Buy a Trip Kit from Jepp and you'll get the whole index.
I wrote this to another question posed earlier this week.

You can also rent Jepp chart review, both the Jepp-produced and King versions, from Smartflix
Jeppesen Chart Training
King Complete Jeppesen Review
That, with the intro sections from a set of Jepps (you can get a single-issue "Airway Manual Express" coverage for about $40) and a $5 8.5"x5.5" binder from Office Depot to hold it and you've got an indispensable reference book for less than $50.

After two 121 interviews My suggestion would be to get as many different HI & LO enroutes and a bunch of different plates and just look over them tilll you know everything. You should be able to pick out quickly the obvious things that you dont know n the things that you do, just study and look up all the things you dont know, and review the rest. Sit down with any enroute and just quiz yourself.
Try to get at least one chart from the N.E. and one from the west.
Good luck and dont stress it too bad.

Hey all,
Sorry if this is a stupid, but I just got a one time set of charts for NY,PA,NJ to study and will use them to fly. Since its a one time purchase where on the charts or plate packet I got does it say when the charts are valid until? I remember on the NOAA charts it would has a good until date, but I cant find it on these. Do I just have to know what date they were good from and add 56 days to that? Thanks!

Jepps don't have a good until date - they replace them when they're are superseded, so you'll probably find some charts in your package that have a date of 1999 or 2001 that are still good. You have to compare the chart date against the list of effective charts.

I'd highly recommend the Jeppesen Instrument Procedures Guide - it explains a LOT of things that aren't covered in the Airway Manual's Legend. Great resource whether you're just learning Jepp or for a CFII to teach with.
