South-central Alaska

Anchorage, Cook Inlet and Prince William Sound sit near the centre of a sheet extending from the Gulf of Alaska coast north across the Alaska Range into the interior. To the west it takes in Lake Clark and the western approaches to Cook Inlet; eastwards, the coverage reaches across the Wrangell and Saint Elias mountains towards the Canadian border and the country around Yakutat.

The flying landscape is markedly varied: intricate coastline and island-studded water in the south, broad inlet country around Anchorage, then extensive glaciers, high mountain terrain and sparsely settled interior valleys. Routes crossing the sheet can therefore move quickly between maritime and continental settings.

Connections at the edges

Southbound coverage continues on the Seward sheet. Beyond the western edge, Kodiak adjoins the southern portion and McGrath the northern portion. Fairbanks lies to the north-west, while Dawson continues coverage to the north-east. At the eastern and south-eastern margins, the Juneau sheet provides the onward connection along the Gulf coast and towards south-eastern Alaska.

Common questions

What area does the Anchorage Sectional Chart cover?

It spans 59.4°N to 64.3°N and 153.8°W to 139.3°W. Airports on the sheet fall within Alaska. The full list of public-use airports within its coverage is on this page.

Should I download the GeoTIFF or the PDF?

Take the GeoTIFF if you are loading the chart into moving-map software or a flight planner — it is georeferenced, so the software can place it correctly on a map, and it ships with a world file and FGDC metadata at 300 dpi (65.3 MB). Take the PDF to print it or read it on a second screen (133.3 MB); it is the same chart without georeferencing.

Is this the current Anchorage chart?

This is the FAA edition effective 9 July 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026. Visual charts are reissued every 56 days and we publish each new edition on the day it takes effect. It is for flight simulation and reference only — not for real-world navigation.

Which charts adjoin the Anchorage sheet?

Seward to the south, McGrath to the west, Fairbanks to the north-west, Dawson to the north-east, Kodiak to the west and Juneau to the east. Each is linked from this page, so a route running off one edge can be continued on the next sheet.

Is the Anchorage Sectional Chart free to download?

Yes, with no account required. FAA charts are United States Government works and are not subject to copyright protection in the US under 17 U.S.C. § 105. Guest downloads are speed-capped, so a sheet this size takes a while; PRO members download at full line speed and can take the whole family as one archive.
