USA Aeronautical ChartsWe carry several types of charts and supplements for the USA. We also carry World Aviation Charts and Canadian Aeronautical Charts. Sectional Aeronautical Charts are designed for visual navigation of slow to medium speed aircraft. The topographic information featured consists of the relief and a judicious selection of visual checkpoints used for flight under visual flight rules. The checkpoints include populated places, drainage patterns, roads, railroads, and other distinctive landmarks. The aeronautical information on Sectional Charts includes visual and radio aids to navigation, airports, controlled airspace, restricted areas, obstructions, and related data.
World Aeronautical Charts cover land areas at a standard size and scale for navigation by moderate speed aircraft and aircraft operating at high altitudes. The topographical information includes city tints, principal roads, railroads, distinctive landmarks, drainage patterns and relief. The aeronautical information includes visual and radio aids to navigation, airports, airways, restricted areas, obstructions and other pertinent data. Because of their smaller scale, these charts do not show as much detailed information as appears on the Sectional and Terminal Area Charts.
IFR Enroute Low Altitude Charts Provide aeronautical information for navigation under instrument flight rules below 18,000 feet MSI. This four color chart series includes:
IFR Enroute High Altitude Charts Provide aeronautical information for navigation under instrument flight rules above 18,000 feet MSL. This four color chart series includes:
U.S. Terminal Procedures Publications are published in 20 loose-leaf or perfect bound volumes covering the conterminous U.S., Puerto Rico and the virgin Islands. Included in the Terminal Porcedures Publications are:
Terminal Area Charts depict the airspace designated as Class B airspace. The information found on these charts, while similar to that found on Sectional Charts, is shown in much more detail because of the larger scale. These charts should be used by pilots intending to operate from airfields within or near Class B or C airspace. Coverage of Terminal Area Charts is indicated by shaded boxes on the Sectional Chart index. ![]() Terminal Area Charts Clickable Index Airport/Facility Directory is a pilot's manual which contains data on public use and joint use airports, seaplane bases, heliports, VFR airport sketches, NAVAIDs, communications data, weather data sources, airspace, special notices, and operational procedures. The seven volumes cover the conterminous United States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The Directory includes data that cannot be readily depicted in graphic form; e.g., airport hours of operation, types of fuel available, runway widths, lighting codes, etc. ![]() Airport/Facility Directory Clickable Index |
