CARIBBEAN VFR AERONAUTICAL CHARTS (CAC)
2 pagesPages 58–59
The Caribbean Charts are published as two VFR Charts:
Caribbean 1 (CAC-1) covers Southern Florida, Cuba, Haiti and the Bahamas; Caribbean 2 (CAC-2) covers Puerto Rico, Haiti, Dominican Republic, the Lesser Antilles and Leeward Islands. Charts are updated every 56-day chart cycle.
Caribbean Charts are designed for VFR flights and provide aeronautical and topographic information of the Caribbean. The aeronautical information includes airports, radio aids to navigation, Class airspace and special use airspace in U.S. and major airports, and radio aids to navigation in foreign areas. The topographic information includes city tint, populated places, principal roads, drainage patterns and shaded relief.
The chart symbols used on the Caribbean Charts are similar to those used in the Sectional and Terminal Area Charts, the major difference being in scale. The Caribbean VFR Chart scale is 1:1,000,000 versus the Sectional Chart Scale of 1:500,000 and Terminal Area Chart Scale of 1:250,000. Chart symbology will appear smaller on the Caribbean VFR Charts.
