You mean the symbol Jepp uses to indicate Radar approach Services?Note the "R" I mentioned here: https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/com...ure-procedure-error-kpsp.123902/#post-2864418

Ten-four, good buddy. It's like a warning light in reverse: When it is most important to see it, it isn't there.You mean the symbol Jepp uses to indicate Radar approach Services?

Like this?
Exactly.Like this?
it's actually pretty good. No need to check the Chart Supplement to find out.
Except when it was all paper and Jepp had much better quality and, of course, the advantage of international coverage, I didn't notice too many differences which made one inherently superior over the other.Just one of many reasons Jepp is better than NACO.
Even for the airlines that don't fly international: Jeppesen tailors their subscription to their regular, refueling, provisional, and alternate airports. Also, if an airline wants additional graphics on their charts, such as distance rings, etc., they get it. And, for specials, the FAA doesn't get near those.Except when it was all paper and Jepp had much better quality and, of course, the advantage of international coverage, I didn't notice too many differences which made one inherently superior over the other.

there is probably a fancy word somewhere about expectation bias. “The plate is an FAA item, so those letters have to represent a symbol of FAA information, right?” (Walks off shaking head to go console his inner Aggie)
For the good pilots a note: "Don't expect radar coverage below 13,000 on departure" would fairly characterize what to expect.Yeah, but do good pilots really care and do bad pilots really look?
Ok, then, have it your way. But a really good pilot wouldn't be accepting vectors until he knew it was safe.For the good pilots a note: "Don't expect radar coverage below 13,000 on departure" would fairly characterize what to expect.
Different point. The issue is misleading DCS information that is actually deceptive.Ok, then, have it your way. But a really good pilot wouldn't be accepting vectors until he knew it was safe.
