Airport charts and approach plates

Here, for 3,195 US airports — 23,969 approach plates, departure and arrival procedures, takeoff minimums and airport diagrams, all free with no account needed. Search by identifier above, or browse by state.

Type the identifier, airport name or city into the search box at the top of this page — KLAX, Denver or Albuquerque all work. Every airport with published FAA instrument procedures has its own page listing every chart, its radio frequencies, runway data and the VFR sheets covering it.

An approach plate is an instrument procedure for one runway at one airport — the tracks, altitudes and minimums for flying an approach you cannot see out of the window. A sectional chart is a VFR navigation chart covering a whole region, showing terrain, airspace and landmarks. Most simmers want both: the sectional to plan the route, the plate to fly the arrival.

They are from the FAA cycle effective 3 September 2026. Terminal procedures are reissued every 28 days and we publish each new cycle on the day it takes effect. They are for flight simulation and reference only — not for real-world navigation.
