Description:
Abstract:
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Terminal Area Raster Aeronautical Chart series is designed to meet the needs of users who require georeferenced raster images of FAA visual flight rules terminal area charts. VFR Terminal Area Raster Aeronautical Chart data is included with the Sectional Raster Aeronautical Chart DVD and is only available by purchasing a subscription to the Sectional Raster Aeronautical Chart DVD. A VFR terminal area raster aeronautical chart is a scanned image of an FAA VFR terminal area chart. All information that is part of the paper VFR terminal area chart is included in the raster image. Please note that the VFR Flyway Chart is not provided with the data and is not available. The image inside the neat line is georeferenced to the surface of the earth. Georeferencing information for insets should be disregarded (unless the inset constitutes the body of the chart, New York Inset for example), only the main body of the chart is accurately georeferenced. The raster data may be viewed using a geographic information system to take advantage of the georeferenced nature of the data or the data can be viewed using commonly available image viewing software. Three different Sectional Raster Aeronautical Chart DVDs are produced every 28 days which include the VFR Terminal Area Raster Aeronautical chart data. These three DVDs are provided by region. These three regions are;East, West, and Alaska. VFR Terminal Area Chart coverage by region is as follows, (East) Atlanta, Baltimore-Washington, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas and Fort Worth, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Memphis, Miami, Minneapolis St. Paul, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands, St. Louis, Tampa and Orlando (West) Dallas and Fort Worth, Denver, Houston, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis St. Paul, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle (Alaska) Anchorage and Fairbanks.
Purpose:
The VFR Terminal Area Raster Aeronautical Chart series has been developed to meet the needs of many users. The data has the flexibility of being useful for both industry and individuals. Additional digital data may easily be overlaid on the raster image. Data such as weather, temporary flight restrictions, obstacles, or other geospatial data can be combined with VFR Terminal Area Raster Aeronautical Chart data to support a variety of needs.
Supplemental_Information:
Most VFR Terminal Area Raster Aeronautical Charts are provided as a single file. Some charts however are provided as two parts, a west side and an east side (e.g. Tampa and Orlando), a north side and a south side (e.g. Anchorage and Fairbanks), or a main body and an inset (e.g. New York and the New York Inset). The files are 200 dots per inch and 8-bit color. The data is provided as a GeoTIFF and distributed via DVD-R media as part of the Sectional Raster Aeronautical Chart Series. The data is valid for the 28-day cycle printed on the DVD label. Each file name is structured as follows; chart name and edition number (In cases such as Tampa and Orlando or Anchorage and Fairbanks each half will be identified by coverage such as Tampa 26.tiff or Orlando 26.tiff).

Use_Constraints:
The data is only valid for the 28-day cycle dates published on the DVD. The VFR Terminal Area Raster Aeronautical Chart data will become obsolete upon the publication of the next Sectional Raster Aeronautical Chart DVD (every 28 days). Even though paper VFR Terminal Area Chart data are normally valid for navigation use for periods greater than 28 days, VFR Terminal Area Raster Aeronautical Chart data are only valid for 28 days. A user must use VFR Terminal Area Raster Aeronautical Chart data only from the current DVD to ensure that obsolete navigation data is not used. Caution: These charts are primarily designed for VFR navigational purposes and do not purport to indicate the presence of all power transmission and telecommunications lines, terrain, or obstacles which may be encountered below reasonable and safe altitudes. Note: Refer to current DoD (NIMA) charts and flight information publications for information outside of U.S. airspace. Airspace classification and operational requirements may differ between Mexico and the United States (see DoD Area Planning AP/1). Note: Refer to current Canadian charts and flight information publications for information within Canadian Airspace. Airspace classification (see Canada Flight Supplement) and operational requirements (see DoD Area Planning AP/1) may differ between Canada and the United States. Information on VFR Terminal Area Raster Aeronautical Charts will change; consolidated updates of chart changes are available every 56 days in the FAA Airport/Facility Directory (A/FD). Also consult Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) and other Flight Information Publications (FLIPs) for latest changes.

Data_Quality_Information:
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The entire VFR terminal area chart is scanned. There may be two files for each corresponding paper VFR terminal area chart. Each VFR Terminal Area Raster Aeronautical Chart is produced with the intention of replicating the source chart as closely as possible. Users may note that a certain amount of "noise" can be discerned when small areas are blown up or viewed in zoomed-in conditions. This noise is in the form of random specks or pixels of color and halos due to any number of factors, such as, the quality of the source, the use of screens and patterns in the litho, and the unevenness of ink due to saturation and absorption. Discontinuities or breaks in linear features may also be present due to improper calibration of the scanner, the condition of the source, and resampling.
Completeness_Report:
Image completeness is checked by visually inspecting each VFR Terminal Area Raster Aeronautical Chart.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The data has been georeferenced. The root mean square error of the transformation will not exceed two pixels.

The area of coverage for a VFR Terminal Area Raster Aeronautical Chart is the entire printed area of a standard Federal Aviation Administration VFR Terminal Area Chart including the chart border (tabulations, legend, notes, etc.) and insets. However, the VFR Flyway portion of the paper chart is not included.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The data is generated using a 2nd order polynomial transformation and at least 5 points. Nearest neighbor processing is used to resample the data for the generation of the GeoTIFF file.
