St Louis and the three-river landscape

Centred on metropolitan St Louis, this sheet spans both sides of the Mississippi, from eastern Missouri into south-western Illinois. Its coverage includes the broad lowlands around the meeting of the Missouri and Mississippi, with the Illinois joining nearby, then reaches west across rolling Missouri country and east across the flatter Illinois side. The result is a compact view of an urban region shaped by major rivers, wooded ridges, floodplains, dense development and surrounding agricultural ground.

Terminal detail versus regional context

The Terminal Area Chart keeps greater St Louis at the centre and presents the metropolitan area at a larger scale than the Sectional Aeronautical Chart covering the same ground. It is the more focused choice for planning or recreating flights within and immediately around the city. The sectional is better suited to routes continuing beyond this footprint, where wider regional continuity matters more than close metropolitan presentation. Together, the products connect local-area detail with the broader Missouri–Illinois setting.

Common questions

What area does the St Louis Terminal Area Chart cover?

It spans 38.1°N to 39.3°N and 91.5°W to 89.5°W. Airports on the sheet fall within Illinois and Missouri. 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 (19.0 MB). Take the PDF to print it or read it on a second screen (39.7 MB); it is the same chart without georeferencing.

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This is the FAA edition effective 9 July 2026, which is superseded on 3 September 2026.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