Terminal Area Charts (TACs)

Terminal Area Charts – Precision Navigation for Busy Airspace

Enhance your flight planning and situational awareness with Terminal Area Charts (TACs) from Pilots HQ, the essential tool for pilots operating in busy terminal airspace. These charts are specifically designed to provide detailed and precise information for navigating complex airspace around major airports, particularly those designated as Class B Airspace.

Key Features:

• Large-Scale Detail: Terminal Area Charts are produced at a scale of 1:250,000, offering a larger scale than standard sectional charts. This enhanced scale provides detailed information for safe and efficient navigation within terminal areas, including detailed depictions of airspace boundaries, navigation aids, and topographical features.
• Critical Airspace Information: TACs delineate controlled airspace boundaries, including Class B airspace, with precise altitude and lateral limits to ensure compliance and safety during your approach and departure. The charts also indicate mode C veil boundaries, providing critical information for pilots operating in busy airspace.
• Navigation Aids and Waypoints: Essential data on VORs, NDBs, GPS waypoints, and approach fixes are marked, helping you maintain situational awareness and precise navigation in congested airspace.
• Airport Layouts: Comprehensive details on major airports, including runway layouts, frequencies, approach and departure paths, and nearby obstacles, make these charts invaluable for planning and executing safe arrivals and departures.
• Special Use Airspace: Clearly marked restricted, prohibited, and other special use airspace ensures that you avoid areas where entry is limited or regulated.
• Optimized for Low Altitude Operations: TACs are specifically designed to aid pilots operating at lower altitudes within terminal areas, providing the detail necessary to navigate safely through complex airspace.
