FAA Anchorage Sectional – 11/30/23 thru 01/25/24
The FAA’s extremely popular Sectional Aeronautical Charts are the primary series of navigational publications designed for aviators who fly by external visual reference. These foldable, full-color charts are loaded with valuable aviation data including airport info (runway lengths, lighting, elevation, services available, surface type, etc.); airspace dimensions; VHF and LF/MF navigational facilities (frequency, ID, and channel); landmarks; cities & towns; elevation/topographic info; ATC entities and associated contact/radio frequencies; bodies of water; obstructions; and much, much more.
The Anchorage Sectional covers the airspace over the portion of Alaska surrounding Anchorage. Uses the standard 1:500,000 (6.86 nm per inch; 2.70 nm per cm) scale characteristic of sectional charts. The majority of sectionals are updated every six months, though several Alaska charts are revised annually. An affordable, info-packed source of relevant FAA data that should be a part of every Anchorage area aviator’s flight bag.
