The story of the Jeppesen chart begins in the early 1930s with Captain Elrey B. Jeppesen, an airmail pilot for Boeing Air Transport. In an era when pilots often navigated using automobile road maps or following train tracks, Elrey grew concerned for his and his colleagues' safety. To mitigate the risks, he began meticulously documenting the routes he flew, sketching terrain features, runway lengths, the locations of emergency landing fields, and even the telephone numbers of farmers who would provide weather reports. jeppesen chart
