VFR charts are mainly used when flying [[Flight rules#Visual flight rules|VFR]], but can be used when flying IFR as well. In general they are in a larger scale than the IFR charts. In addition to the information of the IFR charts, they also contain information found on a regular topographic map such as representation of the terrain, water features, infrastructure, populated areas etc. | VFR charts are mainly used when flying [[Flight rules#Visual flight rules|VFR]], but can be used when flying IFR as well.

VFR charts are used for VFR and shorter IFR route planning and while flying VFR using [[pilotage and dead reckoning]]. They are available in many different scales and with many different symbologies. | VFR charts are used for VFR and shorter IFR route planning and while flying VFR using [[pilotage and dead reckoning]].
