Across the Hawaiian chain

From Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau in the north-west to the island of Hawai‘i in the south-east, this sheet covers the full main Hawaiian archipelago and a broad expanse of the surrounding Pacific. O‘ahu, Moloka‘i, Lāna‘i, Maui and Kaho‘olawe sit within the same continuous view, together with the channels separating them.

Island terrain and open water

The chart’s geography is defined by contrast: compact volcanic islands rise from otherwise open ocean, with rugged mountain interiors, deeply cut valleys and irregular coastlines. Inter-island flying therefore alternates between prominent landforms and stretches where the sea dominates the view. The coverage also extends well beyond the islands to the north, south and east, giving useful context for routes approaching or leaving the chain.

Unlike continental sectional sheets, it has no adjoining chart of the same type. The principal Hawaiian Islands and their surrounding waters are presented as a self-contained regional sheet rather than one panel in a larger tiled sequence.

Common questions

What area does the Hawaiian Islands Sectional Chart cover?

It spans 17.7°N to 24.0°N and 161.8°W to 153.4°W. Airports on the sheet fall within Hawaii. 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 (26.1 MB). Take the PDF to print it or read it on a second screen (55.1 MB); it is the same chart without georeferencing.

Is this the current Hawaiian Islands 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This is the FAA edition effective 9 July 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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.

Is the Hawaiian Islands 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.
