Depends on the charts and who creates them.US printed charts will typically not be printed on metric paper, while most others will be (probably A2 or A1 size paper).

>but the one that pilots carry that clips to their yoke>usually have a certain size, and i believe they are made by>jeppesen.They are not called charts, they are usually called approach plates. When you say "charts" folks usually mean either high or low altitude charts.Michael J.WinXP-Home SP2,AMD64 3500+,Abit AV8,Radeon X800Pro,36GB Raptor,1GB PC3200,Audigy 2

Correction approach plates and airport diagrams and SIDS and STARS those types of charts not the usual high and low altitude charts or sectionals. Best Regards Adib Afraj

Adib,Jeppesen approach charts/plates measure 5.5 x 8.5 inches. SID/STARs or airport diagrams are also of the same size.Michael J.WinXP-Home SP2,AMD64 3500+,Abit AV8,Radeon X800Pro,36GB Raptor,1GB PC3200,Audigy 2

Approach plates are A5, enroute charts about A3 and VFR charts about A2 size. Look those up on Google to see what the actual sizes are.
