In order to satisfy the requirements of aeronautical users as regards to aeronautical charts, the Agency for the Air Navigation Safety in Africa and Madagascar (ASECNA) provides a large collection of cartographic documents, established with the context of ICAO Annex 4 provisions, to serve the international requirements.
The aeronautical charts included in the AIP are kept up to date by amendments to the AIP. Information concerning the planning for or issuance of new maps and charts is notified by Aeronautical Information Circular.
If incorrect information detected on published charts is of operational significance, it is corrected by NOTAM.
The cartographic documents and various documents published by ASECNA are on sale by correspondence order to be addressed to:

2. General description of each series
a) Aeronautical Charts - ICAO 1: 500,000
These charts constitute the contribution made by Rwanda to the Aeronautical Chart - ICAO 1:500,000 series and are required for preflight planning as well as pilotage. The aeronautical data shown have been kept to a minimum, consistent with the use of the chart for visual air navigation. It includes a selection of aerodromes obstacles, elements of the ATS system, prohibited, restricted and danger areas, and radio navigation aids.
b) Instrument Approach Charts - ICAO
Instrument Approach Charts are available for all aerodromes open to International Civil Aviation where instrument approach procedures have been established. Their function is to provide the pilot with a graphic presentation of instrument approach; missed approach and, where appropriate, holding procedures to the aerodrome of intended landing.
c) Visual Approach Charts - ICAO
Visual Approach Charts conforming to the specifications of Annex 4 are available for some aerodromes listed in the AIP. Their function is to provide the pilot with a graphic presentation of the approach to an aerodrome by visual reference and to provide an illustration of the aerodrome which will facilitate the approach to the runway of intended landing.
d) Aerodrome Obstacle Charts - ICAO Type A
This chart provide the data necessary to enable an operator to comply with the operating limitations of Annex 6 chapter 5 through the determination of minimum safe heights and procedures to use in the event of an emergency during take-off or landing.
e) Aerodrome Obstacle Charts - ICAO Type B
This chart provide information to satisfy the determination of minimum safe altitudes/heights including those for circling procedures; determination of procedures for use in the event of an emergency during take-off or landing; the application of obstacle clearing and marking criteria; and the provision of source material for aeronautical charts.
f) Precision Approach Terrain Chart — ICAO.
This chart provides detailed terrain profile information within a defined portion of the final approach so as to enable aircraft operating agencies to assess the effect of the terrain on decision height determination by the use of radio altimeters. This chart is produced for all precision approach Cat II runway.
g) Aerodrome Charts - ICAO
Aerodrome Charts are available for aerodromes listed in GEN 3.2-2. The charts provide flight crews with information that will facilitate the ground movement of aircraft to and from the run-ways and aprons and to portray the major flight operation facilities at the aerodrome.
h) Aircraft Parking/Docking Charts - ICAO
These charts are produced for those aerodromes where, due to the complexity of the terminal facilities, the information to facilitate the ground movement of aircraft between the taxiways and the aircraft stands and parking/docking of aircraft cannot be shown with sufficient clarity on the Aerodrome chart - ICAO.
i) Standard Departure Charts Instrument –ICAO
These charts are produced whenever a standard instrument departure procedure has been published. The aeronautical data shown include the aerodrome of departure, prohibited, restricted and danger areas and the air traffic services system.
These charts provide the flight crew with information that will enable them to comply with the designated standard departure from the Take-off phase to the En-route phase.
j) Standard Arrival Charts Instrument – ICAO
These charts are produced whenever a standard instrument arrival procedure has been published. The aeronautical data shown include the aerodrome of landing, prohibited, restricted and danger areas and the air traffic services system. These charts provide the flight crew with information that will enable them to comply with the designated standard arrival from the En-route phase to the approach phase.
k) ATC Surveillance Minimum Altitude chart- ICAO
This chart is supplementary to the Area Chart and provides information which will enable flight crews to monitor and cross-check altitudes assigned while under radar control.
l) En-Route Chart-ICAO
This chart is produced for the entire Kigali FIR. The aeronautical data include all aerodromes, prohibited, restricted and danger areas and the air traffic services system in detail. The chart provides the flight crew with information that will facilitate navigation along ATS routes in compliance with air traffic services procedures.
b) Instrument Approach and Landing Charts- ICAO
c) Visual Approach and Landing Charts- ICAO
d) Aerodrome Obstacle Charts- ICAO “Type A”
e) Aerodrome Obstacle Charts- ICAO “ Type B”
f) Precision Approach Terrain Chart- ICAO (Precision approach CAT II);
g) Aerodrome Charts- ICAO
h) Aircraft Parking/Docking Charts- ICAO
i) Standard Departure Charts - Instrument- ICAO
j) Standard Arrival Charts - Instrument- ICAO
