Information changes to the chart supplement series come from a variety of sources. Information published in the Airport/Facility Directory (excluding airport sketch blocks) is generated from Aeronautical Information Services data. All changes to this portion of the publication must be submitted as an Aeronautical Data Change. Any content not covered in the Airport Facility Directory section of the supplements must be submitted as an Aeronautical Chart Change. There are 2 different components of information related to an Aeronautical Chart Change for the Chart Supplements; these are Airport Diagrams and sketches, and Supplemental Charts and publications. It is incumbent on the proponent to ensure they understand the Criteria and Requirements for submitting changes to the Supplemental Charts and publications portion of the Aeronautical Chart Change. If any user of the Chart Supplement product finds an error, or has any questions, please submit an Aeronautical Inquiry.

The tables below contain digital Chart Supplement files for a given cycle. The Application Data zip file contains single page PDFs and an xml database for searching. No application is included. The Cover-to-Cover files contain each of the nine supplements from cover to cover in Portable Document Format (PDF). As an added convenience the CS ALL file contains all nine regions in one large zip file. Due to the large file sizes, it is best to download one file at a time using a broadband connection during off-peak internet hours.
