2026 Updated FAA Oceanic Guides

The FAA has recently updated its resource guides for the three big oceanic areas of interest:

The North Atlantic. Updated July 7, 2026.
The Pacific. Updated April 17, 2026.
WAT airspace (West Atlantic / Gulf of Mexico / Caribbean). Updated June 30, 2026.

These guides are a good starting point for understanding all the basics of operating in these areas, and include links to all kinds of useful extra info around the main topics for each one.
