Explanation:
I think "sectional chart" is a more correct term in english :

A sectional chart provides detailed information on topographical features that are important to aviators, such as terrain elevations, ground features identifiable from altitude (rivers, dams, bridges, buildings, etc.), and ground features useful to pilots (airports, beacons, landmarks, etc.).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sectional_chart

carte de navigation VFR :

La carte comporte des renseignements aéronautiques ainsi qu'une représentation topographique assez détaillée pour faciliter la navigation aérienne

Ou "de navigation à vue" (VFR visual Flight Rules) mais je ne sais pas trop si c'est employé...

Reference: VFR

Reference information:
VFR sifnifie "Vol à vue"

Les règles du vol à vue (soit Visual flight rules ou VFR en anglais) correspondent à une définition précise : c'est un vol qui respecte certaines conditions de visibilité et de distance horizontale et verticale par rapport aux nuages (on parle de conditions VMC — Visual Meteorological Conditions). De plus les règles dépendent de la classification des espaces aériens. Certains espaces aériens sont libres au VFR, d'autres sont interdits au VFR (survol de Paris par exemple), d'autres autorisés avec accord préalable du contrôle aérien.

Le VFR s'oppose aux règles de vol aux instruments ou IFR (Instrument flight rules).
