Charlotte Terminal

If your VFR flight ops take you to Crown Town, be sure you're equipped with the FAA's incredibly detailed, full-color Charlotte Terminal Area Chart (TAC). Whereas Sectional Charts are outstanding for enroute navigation, TACs reign supreme 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 Charlotte TAC provides a detailed depiction of the Class Bravo airspace centered around North Carolina's Charlotte/Douglas International Airport (CLT). As with all TAC publications, this chart is revised every six months. A low-cost, high-value resource to augment your situational awareness and operational safety while aviating around The Hornet's Nest.
