Beginning with the June 15 chart cycle, limited foreign information&nbsp;<a href="https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/safety_alerts/media/ENR_23-01_CN_Foreign_Data_IFR_Charts_Revised.pdf" target="_blank">will be shown</a>&nbsp;on all en-route U.S., Alaska, and Pacific High/Low IFR aeronautical charts. The aim of the change is to provide improved situational awareness by emphasizing the transition point beyond U.S.-controlled airspace, after which pilots will have to consult charts and publications of other nations.
In further explaining the need for the change, the FAA said, “It does not receive foreign data with sufficient lead times to produce the foreign areas of FAA charts with the same robust, for navigation, content as within U.S. airspace. This change will make clear that the intent of U.S. charts is for navigation within domestic airspace and that charts of other countries should be used within their respective airspace.” Additionally, foreign aeronautical information is not supported by the U.S. notam system.
The FAA assured subscribers that the new information published on paper charts is also included in digital versions available for viewing on the agency’s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/digital_products/ifr/" target="_blank">IFR chart website</a>. The agency also reminds subscribers that “should you discover or encounter an error in any of our products, you are encouraged to contact us immediately. Before you do, however, please check the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/safety_alerts/" target="_blank">alerts/notices webpage</a>&nbsp;to see if the error has been previously discovered or resolved.”
