It can be true, even if it didn't happen - Ken Keasey - mostly*
Man invented language so he could hide the truth from others - Tallyrand - sort of

You can always hang this on your wall

3X5 foot, updated annually by the FAA, doesn't require near as much space as a wall full of sectionals.

Bit more serious - Some (how many?) STATES have their own version. :D

That's cool but It says the chart only depicts airports with runways over 4,000ft.... So it's pretty much worthless as far as I'm concerned!

Re: WAC charts discontinued?

I liked them. I used them mostly for initial course thinking....in or out of date, didn't matter. When my route was pretty much figured out I would draw the magenta line on current sectionals to navigate from. I'm old fashioned; paper, enroute time and speed checklists etc. At least when I haven't been there before.

Re: WAC charts discontinued?

Just bought the VFR planning chart to loosely plan an upcoming trip. It's a pretty cool map if you're a map person. It does only show paved runways over 4,000 but I've had better luck gettin gas at those.

Re: WAC charts discontinued?

Didn't find the actual wall art I was looking for to replace the charts, but found a couple of cool items if you have a frig in the back of the hangar.

Re: WAC charts discontinued?

I was always fond of the wall full of sectionals and the washer weighted measuring string.

You can still get WACs at worldofmaps.com.
Both sides of the original WAC are printed all on one (larger) side - making creating a WAC mosaic that much easier (and less expensive).
