True that Jeppesen creates customized charts for their clients (airlines), like American, or Delta?

Question

I mean, what would Jeppesen change for a United-customized STAR chart? All SID's and STAR's are normally the same for everyone, right?!

Answer 1

Probably not for STARs and SIDs, but for company approaches.

Companies that have more powerful planes can go to lower approach minimums (only to a point though) since their aircraft can meet the increased climb gradient for the missed approach.

Answer 2

Yes.  Useful non-airway routes and mileages are depicted on enroute charts, private instrument approaches are charted, and convenient company radio frequencies are provided.

Answer 3

Yup, but 95% of the time, the only change evident will be the company logo appearing in the upper margin of the plate.

The custom subscription that the airlines get will generally include destinations and possible alternates, so not every airport in the country with an instrument aproach will be included with the subscription. Otherwise pilots would have to carry 2 or 3 very heavy flight bags.

Answer 4

Yes.  Jeppesen has specific subscriptions for their airline customers.  Although SIDs (now changed to DPs) and STARs are standard, airlines (particularly at major hubs) will have quite a few departures published for them.  

For instance, in MSP, Northwest Airlines has almost 10 more departures that what is published to the general public.  These are generally referred to as "Gate Departures".  So a NWA flight during a busy push, may be cleared to a fix "via the East Gate 2 Departure".  This DP would be in the NWA pilot's charts.

Even further, not only will each airline have specialized chart subscriptions, each FLEET will have specific chart subscriptions.  So that DC9 pilots will not have the same charts in their subscriptions as the 747 pilots.

Answer 5

They also contain Company level minimums for T/O and approach as opposed to FAR mins.
