FAA Houston Terminal - 10/31/24 thru 12/26/24

If you'll be aviating down to Space City, be sure you've packed a copy of the FAA's incredibly detailed, full-color Houston Terminal Area Chart (TAC). Although Sectional Charts are excellent for enroute navigation, TACs are a wiser choice 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 aircraft.

The Houston TAC provides a detailed depiction of the Class Bravo airspace centered around Houston's William P. Hobby Airport (HOU). As with all TAC publications, this chart is revised every six months. An affordable, user-friendly resource to enhance your situational awareness and operational safety while aviating around the Houston area.
