Narrative:

I am working on the module to train our pilot group on accomplishing the cold temperature altitude corrections. The FAA publishes a list of airports. This document contains the list of airports that corrections should be accomplished at; and gives the segments that need to be corrected. At the bottom of the document there is a list of military airports that should get the cold temperature altitude correction also. If you read the aim; the FAA charts put a snowflake on the chart notes with the temperature that requires correction. Jeppesen puts notes on the approach charts also; that suggest that corrections should be made. When I looked up these military airports; neither the FAA or jeppesen charts have the note that cold temperature corrections are necessary. Apparently; the FAA chart publication is not used as the source by jeppesen for the cold temp airports. The nasr database is our primary source for the cold temp notes.' there is apparently a breakdown in the transfer of information at the FAA level. Despite the military airports being on the list that require the correction; that information is not passed to the pilots on the approach plates. This may have to do with the approach procedures at military airports are not developed by the FAA. Whatever causes it; the end result is the charting does not correctly denote cold temperature corrections are necessary.
