CHART CONSTRUCTION PROJECTIONS A projection, which is the framework for the construction of a when constructing a chart, it is necessary to select the projection chart, is a systematic representation on a plane surface of lines which most nearly provides the properties desir€d. The two prin of latitude and longitude. Since no portion of a sphere may be cipal projections used on charts of the Coast and Geodetic Survey represented on a plane surface without distortion, many systems are the Mercator and the Lambert conformal. of projection have been devised, each intended to serve some Almost all aeronautical charts published by the Coast and particular purpose or to preserve some special property of the Geodetic Survey are constructed on the Lambert projection, in sphere. Some of the properties which it is desirable to have in a which meridians are converging straight lines and parallels are chart are: arcs of concentric circles. On this projection, directions conform (1) The true shape of physical features. very closely to those on the earth's surface; and along the two (2) Correct angular relationships. selected "standard parallels," on which the projection is based, (3) Equal areas, or the representation of areas in their correct the scale is true, while between and beyond. them there are small relative proportions. variations in the scale.

It is possible to represent any one property, sometimes more For aeronautical planning charts of the polar areas, a stereo than one, on a flat map, depending on the type of projection, but graphic projection is used, while for certain special charts in it is impossible to represent all of them on any one map. Thus, equatorial regions, the Mercator projection is used.
