Airport charts (plates)

Official Israeli AIP charts for a chosen airfield, shown inside the app.

Opening it

Either:

1. Click an airfield on the map (or find one with 🔍 search) and press Charts in the inspector, or
2. open 📋 Charts → Airport charts from the toolbar and pick the airfield from the list.

The list is grouped by airfield (LLBG — Tel Aviv / Ben Gurion, LLHZ — Herzliya, …); the caret expands one airfield's plates.

The window keeps one width across both of its screens — the list of fields and one field's plates — so a control does not move out from under the thumb reaching for it. Inside a field, the way back and the category chips stay on screen however far the plate list scrolls: they are one block stuck to the top, which matters at Ben Gurion's 44 plates.

What's inside

Plates are grouped by category:

Category	Contains
Approach	Instrument approach charts (ILS, RNP, LOC)
SID	Standard instrument departures
STAR	Standard terminal arrivals
Ground	Aerodrome, apron and parking diagrams
VFR / airport	VFR charts, circuit, CVFR and the airfield text page
Other	Anything else the AIP package carries

Each plate is a chip labelled with its name.

Per-plate actions

• View — click the name to open it in the full-screen viewer.
• Download — the ⬇ button in the viewer.
• Open in a new tab — the 🔗 button in the viewer.
• Close — ✕ or Esc.

The plate you last opened is remembered for the session, so a reload brings the viewer back where you were (sessionStorage, not persisted to disk).

Formats and coverage

PDFs from the official Israeli AIP. Most airfields were built from the latest per-airfield AIP packages. Not every airfield has plates — those show a "no charts" message rather than an empty window.

Some plates double as map overlays (circuit, CVFR, training, comm-failure) — those are toggled from Extra layers, not here.

Charts © Civil Aviation Authority of Israel / Ministry of Transport — published in the AIP.
