The terrain plate is provided desirably with symbols of navigational aids corresponding to those of published approach plates, high density areas, and in route navigational charts of the character regularly used by airline pilots, and other pilots flying under instrument flight rules, irrespective of whether they have ground contact or must rely totally on the instruments for navigation.
