Description
FAA Fairbanks Sectional – 11/30/23 thru 01/25/24
Adventurous pilots lucky enough to fly in the austere wilderness of Alaska’s interior need a reliable source of aeronautical navigation data to help keep them safe during their operations in such an unforgiving environment. Fortunately, the FAA’s Fairbanks Sectional Chart provides all the need-to-know aviation info to help them maintain their situational awareness from takeoff to touchdown. As with all charts in the FAA’s Sectional series, this foldable, full-color chart is 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 Fairbanks Sectional covers the airspace in much of Central Alaska. 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 no adventurous aviator in the Alaskan interior can afford to fly without.
