Phoenix and the Sonoran Desert

Phoenix’s broad urban basin occupies the centre of this sheet, framed by the rugged desert ranges of central and southern Arizona. Coverage reaches west across the lower Gila country beyond Gila Bend, north towards Wickenburg and the foothills of the Bradshaw Mountains, east to the Superstition Mountains, and south past Casa Grande towards Picacho Peak.

The landscape alternates between extensive low desert, irrigated valleys, dense development and sharply rising isolated ranges. That contrast makes the chart particularly useful for simulator routes crossing the Phoenix metropolitan area or moving between the open Sonoran Desert and the higher ground to the north and east.

Terminal and regional coverage

The Terminal Area Chart presents the Phoenix area at a larger scale, giving more room to the concentrated aeronautical detail around the city and its immediate approaches. The Sectional Aeronautical Chart covering the same region places Phoenix within a much broader Arizona context, making it better suited to planning longer routes beyond the terminal area.

Common questions

What area does the Phoenix Terminal Area Chart cover?

It spans 32.6°N to 34.1°N and 113.6°W to 111.2°W. Airports on the sheet fall within Arizona. 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 (27.8 MB). Take the PDF to print it or read it on a second screen (55.5 MB); it is the same chart without georeferencing.

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This is the FAA edition effective 9 July 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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