Coverage across eastern New England

Boston sits near the centre of a sheet extending from southern New Hampshire across eastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island and eastern Connecticut, then well offshore beyond Cape Cod. It includes Massachusetts Bay, Long Island Sound, the waters south of Rhode Island, and the islands off the Massachusetts coast.

Coast, city and inland terrain

The chart brings together a densely settled coastal corridor and a highly irregular shoreline with quieter inland country. Routes can pass quickly from the Boston metropolitan area to wooded New England hills, or cross long stretches of open water around Cape Cod and the offshore islands. The New York Terminal Area Chart adjoins to the west, continuing coverage towards the southern New England and New York region.

Related Boston coverage

An FAA Helicopter Route Chart also covers this area, serving the more specialised needs of helicopter operations. The Terminal Area Chart remains the broader sheet for viewing Boston and its surrounding coastal and inland setting as one connected operating area.

Common questions

What area does the Boston Terminal Area Chart cover?

It spans 41.2°N to 42.9°N and 72.3°W to 69.0°W. Airports on the sheet fall within Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Rhode Island. 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 (22.9 MB). Take the PDF to print it or read it on a second screen (45.7 MB); it is the same chart without georeferencing.

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This is the FAA edition effective 9 July 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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

New York to the west. Each is linked from this page, so a route running off one edge can be continued on the next sheet.

Is the Boston Terminal Area 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.
