About this book

This is not AI-generated content. Aviation Supplies & Academics has been the industry's trusted source for official FAA publications for more than 85 years. Look for the ASA wings to ensure you are purchasing the latest authentic FAA release.

The definitive FAA reference source for understanding and interpretation of all aviation charts.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publishes aeronautical charts for each stage of visual (VFR) and instrument (IFR) flight, including training, planning, departure, enroute (low and high altitude), approach, and taxiing. This guide is an excellent reference for novice and experienced pilots alike, as well as for international pilots becoming familiar with U.S. charts. This 16th edition of the Aeronautical Chart User's Guide is the definitive learning aid, reference document, and introduction to the wealth of information provided on FAA charts and in chart navigation publications.

Produced by the FAA's Aeronautical Information Services branch, it explains all the symbology for FAA sectional, terminal area, flyway planning, helicopter route, enroute low- and high-altitude, and oceanic route charts, as well as standard terminal arrival routes, standard instrument departures, and instrument approach procedures. Also includes chart legends, airspace classification tables, and is illustrated throughout with full-color graphics.

Important note from the publisher:

While AI-generated content can be helpful to identify resources for ongoing study, it is not a reliable resource for learning critical, safety-dependent topics such as aviation. AI content is sterile, often lacks important context, and is at risk of errors. ASA publishes only human-generated content to ensure it is accurate, reliable, comprehensive, and presented in context—so you can become a safe and effective aviator.
