Accessing the Government Printing Offices’ Web page at https:// www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/indes.html. Background The Interagency Air Cartographic Committee (IACC) is comprised of representatives of the Department of Defense and the FAA, who develop technical specifications for use in the preparation of the United States Government World Aeronautical Charts (WAC) and the Operational Navigation Charts. The WAC provides a standard series of aeronautical charts covering land areas at a size and scale convenient for navigation by moderate-speed aircraft at high altitudes within the low altitude airspace structure. These charts are used for flight planning and in-flight navigation by VFR pilots on extended cross country flight. Because of their smaller scale, these charts do not depict as much detailed information as appears on the Sectional and Terminal Area Charts. WACs are not recommended for exclusive use by pilots of low speed, low altitude aircraft because certain information is not depicted. Currently and in accordance with the IACC 3 specifications, obstructions exceeding 200 feet AGL in height (300 feet AGL in densely populated areas) are charted on the WAC, if the obstruction’s location is critical and space permits. Charting these low level obstructions provides limited value to pilots during cross country flight and adds to chart clutter reducing legibility. With the advancements in onboard navigational databases, the aviation community has requested that additional information be added to the WAC to support using these database systems Policy Change The FAA recognizes the need to incorporate new information on public aeronautical charts in support of technological advancements in air navigation techniques. The FAA also recognizes the need to reduce clutter on public aeronautical charts in order to maintain legibility while supporting the intended use of these products. In reviewing industry’s request, the IACC concluded that the addition of this new information would increase congestion on the charts and that it is necessary to modify the technical specifications that require the charting E:\FR\FM\16JYN1.SGM 16JYN1
