Mid-Atlantic coverage

The Washington sheet spans the Mid-Atlantic from the Appalachian high ground of western Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Virginia to the Delaware and Atlantic coasts. It takes in the Washington–Baltimore corridor, Chesapeake Bay, the Delmarva Peninsula and southern New Jersey, while reaching south across much of Virginia into central North Carolina.

The landscape changes markedly across the sheet. Parallel Appalachian ridges dominate the west before giving way to the Piedmont, lower coastal plain and the broad waters of Chesapeake Bay. Farther east, barrier coasts, estuaries and open Atlantic water shape the route environment.

Connections with adjoining sheets

Routes running west continue onto the Cincinnati sectional, while those heading south-west transfer to Charlotte. New York adjoins to the north-east, and Detroit meets the north-western side. Together, these joins support longer routes crossing the Appalachians, following the eastern seaboard or extending beyond the Mid-Atlantic region.

Common questions

What area does the Washington Sectional Chart cover?

It spans 35.5°N to 40.3°N and 79.9°W to 71.7°W. Airports on the sheet fall within District of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. 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 (55.4 MB). Take the PDF to print it or read it on a second screen (111.8 MB); it is the same chart without georeferencing.

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This is the FAA edition effective 9 July 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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

Cincinnati to the west, New York to the north-east, Charlotte to the south-west and Detroit to the north-west. Each is linked from this page, so a route running off one edge can be continued on the next sheet.

Is the Washington 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.
