FAA Chart: VFR TAC CHICAGO

The FAA Chicago Terminal Area Chart shows the Chicago area at 1:250,000, twice the scale of a sectional, so one inch covers about 3.43 nautical miles. The Chicago panel spans about 41.4°N to 42.6°N and 89.2°W to 86.8°W. The Chicago TAC area falls on the Chicago sectional.

Pilots working in or near the Chicago Class B or Class C airspace get added detail on airspace boundaries, airports, navaids, obstructions and the landmarks used as VFR checkpoints. The FAA prints the Chicago VFR Flyway Planning Chart on the back of this chart.

Rolled charts are printed on heavy paper with the entire image on one side. They ship rolled in a cardboard tube.

Rolled charts are designed for hanging on a wall or framing.

Lifestyle images may not be to scale. Frame not included.
