TPC Series

Tactical Pilotage Charts (TPC) are produced by NGA. The TPC is designed to provide an intermediate scale translation of cultural and terrain features for pilots/navigators flying at very low altitudes (below 500 feet above ground level) through medium altitudes or low altitude-high speed operations.

TPCs provide essential cartographic data appropriate to scale, and are overprinted with stable aeronautical information such as obstructions, aerodromes, special use air-space, navigational aids, MEFs, and related data. A Military Grid is overprinted for interoperability. TPCs are also used for mission planning, analysis and intelligence briefings, and are source for navigational filmstrips, special purpose, and cockpit/ visual display products.

TPCs are available in paper, raster or georeferenced raster formats. Some TPCs are available only in raster form or in ADRG-derived formats.
