About custom area charts
- Find your area. Search for an airport or town, or tap the map. Choose Sectional (1:500,000) or Terminal Area (1:250,000, around major airports).
- Size it. Type any width and height from 12 in up to 42 × 72 in. One side must be 42 in or less (the printer is 42 in wide). Up to 630 sq in (21 × 30) is $14.95, up to 2,400 sq in (40 × 60) is $24.95, larger is $34.95, and drag the box (or tap the map) where you want it. The chart is always printed at the true FAA scale.
- Name it. Type the title you want printed at the top.
- Check it and order. The chart is printed from the FAA edition shown at the top of this page.
Which FAA edition will my chart be printed from?
From the current edition: effective Oct 29, 2026, valid through Dec 23, 2026. The edition dates are printed on the front of the chart. The FAA publishes a new edition every 56 days; the next one takes effect Dec 24, 2026. If your chart would print after that date, we'll contact you before printing.
Can my chart cross from one FAA sheet to another?
Yes. Where your area crosses the edge of an FAA sheet, we join the neighboring sheet along a line through the area where the two sheets overlap. Labels can be cut or repeated near the join, and the sheets are named on the chart.
Is this an official FAA chart?
No. It is made by Paradise Cay from FAA VFR chart data and is not produced or endorsed by the FAA. For flight, use current official charts, the Chart Supplement and NOTAMs.
Can I return a custom chart?
No. Every custom chart is printed to your order, so it is non-returnable. If something arrives damaged or misprinted, contact us and we'll make it right.
