To see the current changes
to the LAX TAC, please click here
The Los Angeles Terminal
Area Chart (TAC)is updated every six months; in June and
December of each year. SCAUWG maintains a standing committee
that prepares and submits proposed changes to the FAA
Charting Office. This committee is headed by Candace
Robinson, President of the Long Beach Flying Club. Changes
must be submitted to the FAA approximately two months before
publication. Ideas and suggestions for changes to the
TAC chart can be submitted to the SCAUWG via e-mail to
Candace Robinson (candy@lbflying.com).
The current December 15, 2011 TAC release reflects extensive
work by the committe. Click on the link
above to see compare the changes between the June and
December TACs.
Helicopter
pilots will note that there is also a new Los Angeles
Helicopter chart. The charting committee also played a
significant contributing role in the creation of this new
chart.
It is the Committee's understanding that the
FAA is currently working on combining the Los Angeles TAC
and Helicopter charts for deployment at some future date.
The value of a combined chart cannot be understated in the
complex Los Angeles megalopolis area.
