Proactive disclosure Print version   | |  Aeronautical Charts Visual Flight Rules Terminal Area Charts
An aeronautical chart that depicts terminal control area (TCA) airspace, which provides for the control or segregation of all aircraft within the TCA. The Visual Flight Rules Terminal Area Chart (VTA) displays aeronautical information and sufficient topographic detail to facilitate air navigation through the use of a unique colour scheme, layer tints, and shaded relief. The VTAs are updated at regular intervals to keep pace with air information change. They are printed and folded in accordion style. The six charts of the serie provide coverage of terminal airspace around :
