I was getting VFR sectionals at my base ops map room and noticed that they dont carry terminal area charts for class bravo airspace...is there a DOD equivalent that NGA might publish ???

Have you tried here - NGA Flight Information File

The pubs are in the links to the left

We order our squadron's Terminal Area Charts along with the Sectional Charts that we use. I didn't see these kind of charts on the NGA website, and I don't know the process for how we order them. Sorry.

We require our jets to fly with the San Fran and Klamath sectionals. There's more info on those than in all the other charts combined, I think.

Additionally: if we're going cross country and need Sectionals or Term Area Charts short notice, we use the squadron's MPACT card, and order them from Fallon Airmotive in Nevada. You can google their phone number. They ship out right away, and we get them within a couple of days. Saves the squadron money since we don't order a bunch of stuff that we don't use, and that gets thrown out at the expiration date.

first of all, it's IMPAC.

Secondly, if a helo squadron (that rarely leaves a 3-state area) can get ALL the sectionals and TACs and keep them up to date, that's saying a lot (or a little) about your squadron.

Thirdly, we just grab what we need from base ops if it comes down to it, since they stock everything, too (the occasional GP or AP-1, etc).

First: IMPAC vs. MPACT. Noted.

Secondly: ?

Thirdly: we don't usually use military fields, so grabbing what we need from base ops is not usually an option. When we DO hit a military field, many only carry sectionals for their region of the country. Doesn't do me much good if I needed that sectional for my arrival to said base. Even fewer carry the Terminal Charts. Bottom line: I order them before I start the trip. "Planning" vs. "chance".
