Description
FAA Ketchikan Sectional – 11/30/23 thru 01/25/24
For VFR aviators who operate in and around extreme Southeastern Alaska, the FAA’s Ketchikan Sectional Aeronautical Chart is an affordable, must-have resource for all the relevant, safety-enhancing aeronautical data they need to maintain situational awareness from takeoff to touchdown. As is characteristic of the FAA’s entire lineup of sectional charts, the Ketchikan Sectional contains such need-to-know aeronautical data as 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 Ketchikan Sectional covers the extreme southeastern portion of Alaska , as well the coastal area of the Pacific Ocean, the nearby Alaska/Canada border, and even a sliver of the British Columbia province of Canada. 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. A low-cost, value-packed resource that no pilot in the area should ever fly without.
