Massive new updates: New Sydney Western Airport is opening soon and these charts show all the new airspace changes. 

Sydney TAC 3/4 Chart In Stock Now
All others available for pre-order - ETA before the end of May.

When you move from the open skies into high-density terminal areas, clutter is your biggest enemy. Airservices Terminal Area Charts (TAC) are specifically designed to provide pilots with a clear, large-scale view of Australia’s busiest airspace hubs, ensuring you stay safe, compliant, and ahead of the aircraft.

TACs are the bridge between your en-route navigation and your arrival, providing the granular detail necessary for transitioning through complex Class C and D airspaces.

Key Features & Operational Data:

• Enlarged Scale for Clarity: Designed at a larger scale than standard VNCs or WACs to display dense aeronautical information without the visual clutter.

• Detailed Airspace Architecture: Clearly defined boundaries for Controlled Airspace (CTA), Terminal Control Areas (TMA), and Control Zones (CTR).

• Navigation & Communication: Rapid access to essential radio frequencies (Tower, Approach, Departures) and Navigation Aid data (VOR, NDB, DME).

• PRD Areas: Up-to-date mapping of Prohibited, Restricted, and Danger areas to ensure strict regulatory compliance.

• Air Route Integration: Clearly marked air routes and reporting points for seamless transitions between the en-route and terminal phases of flight.

The Pilot’s Choice for High-Traffic Zones:

Operating near major cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, or Perth requires a higher level of situational awareness. These charts are an essential component of any flight bag because they:

• Reduce Cockpit Workload: The intuitive layout allows for quick "glance-and-go" information retrieval during high-workload phases.

• Enhance Safety: Provides the detail needed to avoid accidental airspace infringements in tightly packed corridors.

• Professional Standard: Used by RPT, Charter, and Private pilots across Australia as the official source of terminal area data.

Pro Tip: While digital EFBs are standard, many commercial operators and safety-conscious pilots keep physical TACs as a critical "no-power" backup for complex arrivals.
