FAA VFR Publications: Sectionals, TAC & Chart Supplements

FAA VFR publications are the current, official paper references every visual pilot files in the flight bag: sectionals for the cross-country, a terminal area chart for the busy Class B, and the Chart Supplement for airport, NAVAID, and frequency data. Charts are revised on the FAA's 56-day cycle, so the editions stocked here carry live effective dates. The four labeled bands along the bottom margin of every sectional, the chart supplement legend, decode terrain, airspace, and airport symbology the same way nationwide.

How pilots choose which VFR publications to carry:

Local flying and training: a single VFR sectional chart covers your practice area. Browse every region in VFR sectional aeronautical charts.
Operating in or under Class B: add a larger-scale VFR terminal area chart for detail the sectional cannot show. See all editions in VFR terminal area charts.
Airport, frequency, and NAVAID lookup: the regional FAA Chart Supplement EC or the full Chart Supplement set replaces the old Airport/Facility Directory.
Flying Alaska: the Anchorage sectional and the rest of the FAA Alaska charts are the primary VFR reference north of the Lower 48.
Stocking the panel and flight bag: pair charts with a kneeboard to keep them readable in the cockpit.
