FAA Las Vegas Terminal - 11/03/22 thru 12/29/22

If you'll be flying VFR in or around Sin City, make sure you have the FAA's incredibly detailed, full-color Las Vegas Terminal Area Chart (TAC) close at hand. Although Sectional Charts are perfect for enroute navigation, TACs are superior 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 aircraft.

The Las Vegas TAC provides a detailed depiction of the Class B airspace complex centered around McCarran International Airport (LAS). As with all TAC publications, this chart is updated every six months. An extremely helpful, safety-enhancing resource for top-notch situational awareness during flights around America's desert oasis.
