Description
FAA Kansas City Terminal – 11/30/23 thru 01/25/24
If your VFR piloting finds you in the Paris of the Plains, be sure you’re equipped with the FAA’s incredibly detailed, full-color Kansas City Terminal Area Chart (TAC). Whereas Sectional Charts are outstanding for enroute navigation, TACs rule when it comes to flying safely in congested, Class B airspace areas. 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 Kansas City TAC provides a detailed depiction of the Class Bravo airspace centered around the Kansas City International Airport (MCI). As with all TAC publications, this chart is updated every six months. A low-cost, high-caliber tool to strengthen your situational awareness and operational safety while operating around The Heart of America.
