Western Alaska coverage

The Bering Strait, Seward Peninsula and Norton Sound anchor a sheet that extends east into Alaska’s remote interior. It spans exposed coastline, islands and broad stretches of tundra, with river valleys and rugged western uplands shaping the inland landscape. The northern area reaches towards Kotzebue Sound and the western approaches to the Brooks Range, while the southern portion follows the country around Norton Sound.

Connections with adjoining sheets

Routes running north from the Seward Peninsula continue onto the Cape Lisburne chart. Eastbound coverage transfers to Fairbanks or Point Barrow, depending on latitude, while the southern joins are split between Bethel to the south-west and McGrath to the south-east. These adjoining sheets matter particularly here because journeys across western Alaska can pass from coastal terrain to a vast inland region within a single route.

Common questions

What area does the Nome Sectional Chart cover?

It spans 63.5°N to 68.3°N and 173.6°W to 156.6°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 (62.0 MB). Take the PDF to print it or read it on a second screen (129.6 MB); it is the same chart without georeferencing.

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This is the FAA edition effective 9 July 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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

Fairbanks to the east, Cape Lisburne to the north, Bethel to the south-west, McGrath to the south-east and Point Barrow 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 Nome 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.
