Description
FAA Pittsburgh Terminal – 11/30/23 thru 01/25/24
VFR aviators who ply the skies around Steel City will appreciate the FAA’s highly detailed, full-color Pittsburgh Terminal Area Chart and the outstanding level or aeronautical data it provides. Whereas Sectional Charts reign supreme for enroute navigation, TACs are the way to go when it comes to flying safely in congested, Class Bravo 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, faster traffic.
The Pittsburgh TAC provides a detailed portrayal of the Class B airspace centered around the Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT). As is characteristic of all TAC publications, this chart is revised on a 6-month cycle. A detail-rich, intuitive, affordable cockpit resource to enhance your situational awareness and operational safety while aviating around The ‘Burgh.
