Gulf Coast coverage

From Louisiana’s bayou country and the Mississippi Delta, this sheet follows the Gulf Coast east through southern Mississippi and Alabama to the Florida Panhandle, while extending well offshore across the northern Gulf of Mexico. Lake Pontchartrain, Mobile Bay, barrier islands, wetlands and long stretches of coastline give the area its distinctive geography.

Character of the region

Much of the coverage is low-lying coastal plain, with extensive marshes, waterways and forested inland country. The mix of urbanised corridors, river systems, open water and an irregular shoreline makes visual route planning markedly different from flying across a uniform inland landscape.

Connections and scale

Routes continuing west pass onto the Houston sheet, while Jacksonville takes over to the east. Memphis and Atlanta adjoin across the north-western and north-eastern edges respectively, providing the natural continuation for longer journeys away from the coast. A Terminal Area Chart also covers the principal metropolitan area at a larger scale, complementing this sectional’s broader regional view with a more concentrated depiction of the terminal environment.

Common questions

What area does the New Orleans Sectional Chart cover?

It spans 27.5°N to 32.3°N and 91.9°W to 84.4°W. Airports on the sheet fall within Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. 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 (46.5 MB). Take the PDF to print it or read it on a second screen (99.9 MB); it is the same chart without georeferencing.

Is this the current New Orleans 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This is the FAA edition effective 9 July 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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 New Orleans sheet?

Houston to the west, Jacksonville to the east, Memphis to the north-west and Atlanta to the north-east. Each is linked from this page, so a route running off one edge can be continued on the next sheet.

Is the New Orleans 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.
