The World Aeronautical Chart (WAC) provides a standard series of aeronautical charts covering land areas of the world at a size and scale convenient for navigation by moderate-speed aircraft. The WAC chart displays aeronautical information and sufficient topographic detail to facilitate air navigation through the use of a unique colour scheme, layer tints, and shaded relief. There are 18 charts in the serie providing complete coverage of Canada. They are updated at regular intervals to keep pace with air information changes. They are printed on both sides, the North half on one side and the South on the other, accordion folded. NOTE:
The information contained in the charts and publications are current only to the date of submission for printing. A NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) may amend or cancel the information on the aeronautical products, therefore the NOTAM must be consulted to ensure that current information is used for flight operations. Also, the amendments (addition/change/deletion) on the VFR charts are also listed in the Canada Flight Supplement, Section C - Planning until the affected VFR chart(s) is/are updated.

Hydrography – Shorelines, lakes, rivers, coast lines, and other hydrographic features are shown in detail relative to chart scale. Aeronautical – Depicted in 'air blue'. The information includes aerodromes shown by symbol with accompanying aerodrome data. Radio aids to navigation by name, frequency, and identification. Air/ground communication stations. Obstructions and light beacons. Lines of equal magnetic variation. Low altitude airway structure. Controlled areas and control zones. Air Defence Identification Zones. Special use airspace. Compass rose, bearings and radials. World Geographic reference system (GEOREF).
