Description
FAA Los Angeles Terminal – 11/30/23 thru 01/25/24
When your VFR aviation ops take you to The City of Angels, make sure you have the FAA’s remarkably detailed, full-color Los Angeles Terminal Area Chart (TAC) close at hand. While Sectional Charts are ideal for enroute navigation, TACs reign supreme when it comes to flying safely in congested, Class B airspace. TACs utilize a large (1:250,000; 3.43 nm per inch [1.35 nm per cm]) scale that allows them to depict additional landmarks, important altitudes, radio frequencies, and other noteworthy aeronautical data that’s not feasible to include on sectionals. Additionally, several TACs feature VFR Flyway Planning Charts on the reverse side, which present flight paths and altitudes to help low, slow flyers steer clear of larger, quicker air traffic.
The Los Angeles TAC provides a detailed portrayal of the Class Bravo airspace centered around LAX. As with all TAC publications, this chart is revised on a 6-month cycle. A cost-effective, info-packed resource to enhance your situational awareness and operational safety while aviating around LA.
