### <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Charts</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You can find **current IFR charts** for Frankfurt/Main on [chartfox](https://chartfox.org/EDDF "EDDF IFR charts (chartfox)") (requires VATSIM login).</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You can find **current VFR charts** for Frankfurt/Main in the [AIP VFR](https://aip.dfs.de/BasicVFR/pages/C019C8.html "EDDF VFR charts (DFS AIP)").  
For a better overview over the airspace structure around Frankfurt, we recommend [openflightmaps](https://www.openflightmaps.org/wp-content/plugins/ofmTileMap/ofmTileMap_full.php?airac=latest&language=local&coverage&controls "openflightmaps").</span>

### <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Sceneries</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">We highly recommend using up to date scenery. There are **many layout changes that have recently taken place** - or are still taking place - at Frankfurt/Main. ATC is usually aware of these changes, but will work under the **assumption that everyone is using an up to date scenery**. Please inform ATC immediately if you are unable to comply with an instruction due to an outdated scenery.</span>

<p class="callout warning">If you are using MSFS, **we recommend using the virtualFRA freeware scenery linked in the table above** as it uses the most current airport layout. Both the MSFS Standard and Deluxe edition versions of the airport use an **outdated layout**.</p>
