VTC - What are these chart symbols?

[Romeo Juliet Whiskey]

Hi everyone, was hoping someone could tell me what the symbols circled in red mean. Surprisingly, they don't appear in the legend of an old chart I have.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Richard

Thanks, Richard

The asterisk s indicate "NAV AID LIMITATION (See ERSA) and in this spot ,and further south, indicates that down below the cliffs can probably can't get accurate NAV Aids.

The red stars indicate a VFR APPROACH POINT, usually a black/white diamond but this is off set with a pointer back to the true approach point, the red star.

 

Cheers

Partially correct, but not so in this case.The Asterisk only indicates a Navaid limitation when coupled with an Aerodrome/NavAid info box. A small black asterisk offshore/otherwise in water indicates exposed rocks.

 

The red star does not indicate a VFR approach point at all - this is indicated by the purple/white diamond, if necessary with a tail pointing to the actual location. The red asterisk refers to a note in the margin of the chart, in this case, cautioning pilots operating in the vicinity of SY CTR of the possibility of other traffic awaiting clearance into the CTR near Parramata, Long Reef and Helensburgh.

Thanks, Obviously a doubling up of symbols. In the case of Helensberg and Stanwell Park there are VFR points pointing back to the red stars but the red stars are not identified in the LEGEND nor are the rocks. Perhaps a note to airservices before they are all made redundant.

Thanks guys. Another question, what does the FN 21 refer to below the red star?

"FNxx" is a 'Fly Neighbourly' note, usually created to keep local residents happy. In this case, it is for the Symbio wildlife park. Fly Neighbourly notes can be found in the ERSA, GEN-SP.

Ahh yes...I do recall reading something about that. Thanks. Not sure why these symbols aren't in the legend though.
