Appl. No.:

Abstract:
A holder for charts having two transparent sheets, a connecting mechanical hinge and non-ferrous latching devices. The chart holder is sized to hold aeronautical charts and related flight planning documents. The hinge allows the two transparent sheets to be opened at least 180 degrees where the charts and documents can easily be place therein. The two sheets are able to close together, clamping the charts and documents between them. The two sheets are kept together by the latching devices. The transparent sheets provide an erasable writing surface where the pre-flight plans and in-flight data can be drawn and written with a non-permanent marker, thus protecting the documents enclosed. The chart holder also provides for the storage of the non-permanent marker. The chart holder can easily be opened with one hand to allow for repositioning of documents in flight. The transparent sheets have a tab allowing for an offset tab arrangement to allow for quick identification between multiple chart holders.
