Description
FAA Detroit Terminal – 11/30/23 thru 01/25/24
When your personal piloting takes you to Motown, be sure you’re equipped with the FAA’s exceptionally detailed, full-color Detroit Terminal Area Chart (TAC). While Sectional Charts are ideal for enroute navigation, TACs prove superior 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 traffic.
The Detroit TAC provides a detailed depiction of the Class Bravo airspace centered around the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW). As with all TAC publications, this chart is revised every six months. A cost-effective, info-packed resource to bolster your situational awareness and operational safety while aviating around Rock City.
