Description
If you ever get the chance to aviate in Alaska's ultra-remote Western Aleutian Islands, you'll want to make sure to include a current copy of the FAA's Western Aleutian Islands Sectional Aeronautical Chart to serve as your info-rich, detail-packed copilot from takeoff to touchdown. As is characteristic of the FAA's complete line of sectional charts, 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 Western Aleutian Islands Sectional covers several of the chain's westernmost islands stretching all the way to the International Date Line, as well as sizable portions of both the nearby Bering Sea and the North Pacific Ocean. Uses the standard 1:500,000 (6.86 nm per inch; 2.70 nm per cm) scale characteristic of sectional charts. Revised annually. A must-have publication of crucial aviation data that should be packed in every area aviator's flight bag.
