The purpose of the Aviation Map is to provide Air
Operations with enough detail to aid in locating
key features on an incident.

Aviation Map Design Criteria

• Simplicity - KISS principle
• Latitude/longitude is critical
• Elevation shaded relief is a good way to show
  topography.

• This map is not a substitute for standard pilot
  safety practices.
