FAA Announces Chart Data Change for Flights Outside U.S. Airspace
Notice Number: NOTC3038

Beginning June 15, the enroute chart products will implement ENR_23-01_CN_Foreign_Data_IFR_Charts_Revised.pdf (faa.gov). The FAA is changing how foreign aeronautical data is represented on instrument flight rules enroute charts for low and high altitude flights. Refer to charts from host countries for situational awareness for detailed and accurate non-U.S. data.

U.S. IFR Enroute Charts will join the FAA’s visual charting products by emphasizing the transition point beyond U.S. controlled airspace where aviators will then consult charting products of other nations or third-party providers. 

The FAA does not reliably 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. Additionally, foreign aeronautical information is not supported by the U.S. NOTAM System. 

The FAA charts will continue to provide aeronautical information for orientation and transition to the appropriate non-U.S. aeronautical information publications.  Learn more here.
