| Abstract [eng] |
Military low flying charts are intended for flight planning and navigation when ground is seen visually and in low flights (up to 2000 feet). Military low flying charts are used by very narrow group of specialists; therefore their cartographic researches in Lithuania are very few. The main aim of this master degree study is semiotical analysis of aeronautical signs of military low flying charts and optimization of military low flying charts making methods. To reach the aim the following tasks were raised: - conduct survey of military aeronautical charts. - conduct analysis of military low flying charts elements’ contents (described in literature) and summarize research data. - make general analysis of military low flying charts’ contents and signs. - create methods of making NATO low flying chats (M 1 : 500 000). - summarize results of analysis and provide recommendations. After semiotical analysis of aeronautical signs of military low flying charts it was determined that this system of signs has some semiotical shortages. After determining shortages, recommendations to improve systems of signs were provided. Methods of military low flying charts is concluded taking into consideration requirements described in STANAG documentation, after conducting analysis of bendrageografine and aeronautical parts of Polish and German low flying charts. Conventional aeronautical signs are presented and described basing on data collected during analysis and author’s recommendations. |
