The skies of Missouri just got a little easier to navigate for pilots and aviation aficionados, thanks to the latest release from the Missouri Department of Transportation. The new 2025-2026 Missouri Aeronautical Chart is now available, providing a wealth of updated and essential data for anyone taking to the state's skies.
As a resource that rolls out every other year, the aeronautical chart is jam-packed with critical updates. Pilots can find the latest on airport information, including communication frequencies and a rundown on airfield signs. But, here's where discretion comes in – with aeronautical information being as fluid as it is, pilots are encouraged to supplement the chart with the latest Federal Aviation Administration charts, publications, and those ever-important Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs), as noted by MoDOT's announcement.
Missouri isn't just a thoroughfare; it's a bustling hub for passegners and cargo alike, handling over 14.7 million passenger enplanements annually. These airports are more than tarmac and control towers; they're vital cogs in the machine of Missouri's economy, connecting its residents and businesses to the wider global marketplace.
The 2025-2026 chart isn't just a tool, it's a resource that hinges on accessibility, and here’s how you can get your hands on it. Reach out to MoDOT by dialing 1-888-ASK-MODOT (275-6636), shooting an email to [email protected], or the old-fashioned way – through a written request to MoDOT's Aviation Section at P.O. Box 270, Jefferson City, MO 65102.
