FAA terminal procedures publications for IFR flight

Terminal procedures publications (TPPs) are the bound volumes of instrument approach procedure charts, departure procedures (DPs), standard terminal arrival routes (STARs), and airport diagrams that every IFR pilot needs to fly approaches and arrivals safely and legally. Pilot Mall stocks the full set of FAA-published U.S. Terminal Procedures Publications from AeroNav Products, organized by region and volume so you can carry exactly the coverage your flying demands. All of our TPPs are official FAA products on the standard 56-day revision cycle.

U.S. Terminal Procedures regions and volumes

The conterminous United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are divided into geographic regions, and each region is split into numbered volumes. Buy only the volumes that cover the airports you fly to instead of carrying the entire country. Our current bound editions include:

What is inside a Terminal Procedures Publication

Instrument approach procedure charts

Often called approach plates, these charts show the courses, altitudes, minimums, and missed approach instructions for every published instrument approach at the airports in that volume.

Departure procedures and STARs

Departure procedures (DPs) and standard terminal arrival routes (STARs) give you the pre-planned routings that connect the airport environment to the enroute structure, reducing cockpit workload during the busiest phases of an IFR flight.

Airport diagrams and takeoff minimums

Each volume includes airport diagrams, takeoff minimums, obstacle departure procedures, and alternate minimums so you have the full ground and departure picture for the fields you serve.

How to choose the right terminal procedures publication

Start with geography. Identify the FAA region and volume number that covers your departure, destination, and likely alternate airports, then buy those bound volumes. Pilots who fly a single region typically need only one or two volumes, while those flying cross-country may carry several. Because the FAA reissues TPPs every 56 days, confirm you are ordering the current effective edition before each cycle. Pair your charts with current FAA charts and the relevant Airport/Facility Directory (Chart Supplement) for complete IFR planning coverage. If you are working toward the instrument rating, our flight training material and a sturdy IFR kneeboard help keep your plates organized in the cockpit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a terminal procedures publication?

A terminal procedures publication is the official FAA bound volume of IFR charts for a geographic region, containing instrument approach procedure charts, departure procedures, standard terminal arrival routes, and airport diagrams that pilots use to fly approaches and arrivals.

Are these FAA terminal procedures official and current?

Yes. Every terminal procedures publication we sell is an official FAA AeroNav Products edition published on the standard 56-day revision cycle, so you fly with charts that meet current regulatory standards.

Which terminal procedures volume do I need?

You need the volume for the FAA region that covers your departure, destination, and alternate airports; the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are divided into regions such as North East, South Central, and South West, each split into numbered volumes.

How often are terminal procedures publications updated?

Terminal procedures publications are revised every 56 days by the FAA, so you should confirm you are ordering the current effective edition before each cycle to stay legal and accurate.

What is the difference between TPPs and FAA charts?

Terminal procedures publications cover the IFR approach, departure, and arrival environment at specific airports, while sectional and enroute FAA charts cover navigation between airports; most IFR pilots carry both.
