The reconfiguration of chart coverage includes an increase in the number of charts in the series from 28 to 36. This will result in a larger scale for each chart. The change is necessary to provide space for the addition of RNAV Routes and supporting RNAV data. The benefit to you will be improved readability, a less cluttered depiction of aeronautical information, and a more logical alignment of charts. For additional chart reconfiguration information, including a copy of the new chart index and a chart coverage conversion table (old vs. new), please visit

Airports that have an Instrument Approach Procedure or a minimum 3000' hard surface runway
Off Route Obstruction Clearance Altitudes (OROCA)

Military Training Routes
Area Charts, which show congested terminal areas at a large scale, are included with subscriptions to any conterminous U.S. Set Low (Full set, East or West sets). Chart L-28 covers the Washington-Boston corridor at a scale similar to an Area Chart. Charts are revised every 56 days
