Supplements to VFR Aeronautical Charts – 2025 Edition: The Essential Guide for Safe Air Navigation

The Supplements to VFR Aeronautical Charts – 2025 Edition are an essential resource for all pilots operating under visual flight rules. Published by the Aeronautical Information Service (SIA), these documents complement the official aeronautical charts by providing a wealth of updated, detailed, and indispensable information for precise, safe, and regulation-compliant navigation. Whether for private pilots, professional pilots, instructors, or student pilots, this publication is a key tool for effectively preparing each flight and anticipating all constraints related to airspace.

Detailed data for optimal navigation

Although aeronautical charts are fundamental, they do not always provide all the information required to ensure optimal navigation. The 2025 VFR chart supplements offer an in-depth description of airspaces, including CTRs, TMAs, military zones, and regulated sectors, specifying their access conditions, altitudes, and activation schedules. They also compile all essential information related to navigation services, such as ATC frequencies, AFIS services, self-information procedures, as well as specific aerodrome usage conditions. Pilots will also find comprehensive descriptions of airport infrastructures, including runways, available equipment, traffic patterns, and local restrictions that may influence flight preparation or execution.

An edition updated according to the latest AIRAC cycles

The 2025 edition incorporates all the most recent AIRAC updates, ensuring reliable data consistent with the latest developments in the aeronautical network. These updates cover VFR routes, military zones, temporary restrictions, sector-specific procedures, and navigation services. Thanks to this up-to-date information, pilots benefit from a precise and comprehensive view of the airspace, enabling them to reduce risks, fully comply with regulations, and avoid any unauthorized incursion into controlled or regulated areas.

A clear, structured, and easy-to-consult document

The clear and structured layout of the aeronautical chart supplements greatly facilitates consultation, whether on the ground during flight planning or in the air when quick access to information is required. The organization by region and type of airspace allows pilots to immediately identify relevant data, while explanatory tables and diagrams included in the document make the information more intuitive and easier to understand. This efficiency-oriented design makes the supplements a valuable tool both for planning and for real-time adaptation of flight paths.

An indispensable reference guide for all VFR pilots

Indispensable for any VFR pilot, the 2025 aeronautical chart supplements serve as a true reference guide for preparing routes with precision, anticipating airspace constraints, and ensuring smooth and safe navigation. Combined with official aeronautical charts, they provide a comprehensive overview of the aeronautical environment and allow pilots to approach each flight under optimal conditions. For anyone wishing to fly confidently, fully master their navigation environment, and comply with all aviation safety rules, this publication is an essential tool.

An educational bonus thanks to our VFR flight-preparation video

To complement the printed version of the guide, we have created a dedicated video presenting a complete VFR flight preparation, available here on our YouTube channel. This video provides a visual and practical addition to your preparation, guiding you step by step through all the procedures to follow before departure: route planning, airspace verification, preparation of ATC frequencies and services, aerodrome study, fuel management, and safety margins. It is an excellent resource for buyers of the VFR chart, allowing them to mentally review essential processes and gain efficiency and peace of mind before each flight.
