For southern aviators who fly in the central Gulf Coast region, the FAA's New Orleans Sectional Aeronautical Chart is an immensely valuable source of essential aeronautical info packed into a foldable, full-color chart. As is characteristic of the FAA's entire lineup of sectional charts, the New Orleans Sectional contains such need-to-know aviation data as airport info (runway lengths, lighting, elevation, services available, surface type, etc.); airspace dimensions; VHF and LF/MF navigational facilities (frequency, ID, and channel); landmarks; cities & towns; elevation/topographic info; ATC entities and associated contact/radio frequencies; bodies of water; obstructions; and much, much more.The New Orleans Sectional covers much of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, and even a sizable chunk of the Gulf of Mexico. Uses the standard 1:500,000 (6.86 nm per inch; 2.70 nm per cm) scale characteristic of sectional charts. Updated every six months. A low-cost, high-value publication that's should be a "no-go" item for every pilot in the central Gulf Coast region.
