Hello,Where is the best place to learn how to read aviation charts? I downloaded several free charts from VATSIM for the US and Canada but would like to know how to properly read them. Maybe a book recommendation?ThanksJim V

Go to the AOPA website and create a free member account. At that point you will be able to access the AOPA interactive online courses. They have a very good free course on charts. As a matter of fact, they have several very good courses that are designed for real pilots, but, work very well for us simmers.Have fun.....Danny

If you are close to an airport, go buy a chart, they all have legends on them

Google is your friend. Try "us aeronautical chart symbols" and you'll find everything you need

Thanks all, I'll give your suggestions a tryJim V
