## Supported references

- FAA VFR sectional map layers.
- FAA IFR low- and high-altitude enroute map layers.
- FAA airport diagrams.
- FAA instrument approach procedures.
- FAA Standard Instrument Departures and Standard Terminal Arrival Routes.
- Curated and reviewed figures from supported FAA and USCG publications.

## Verified visual handoff

1. The examiner requests a specific supported reference.
2. The browser renders it for the candidate.
3. The visible frame is committed and candidate visibility is reported.
4. The same image is injected into examiner context.
5. Only after those checks does the examiner ask a question grounded in the displayed visual.

## Limits

The workspace is examiner-controlled and is not an arbitrary file-upload surface. A failed or unconfirmed render is not treated as visible. Current official charts and publications remain authoritative for real-world decisions.
