WAC vs Sectional

" wrote:

What exactly is the difference between the WAC and sectional charts?

Thw WAC charts are 1:1,000,000 scale. Sectionals are 1:500,000 scale (twice as
large).

Do the WACs show all the MOAs/restricted/etc areas?

Yes.

Are all the same airports listed?

Most private strips are not shown on the WACs. Also missing are airspace details
for controlled fields and radio frequency information. Most of those magenta
circles you're used to seeing on a sectional aren't on a WAC. In congested
areas, you'll see notes on the WAC to use the sectional -- for example, the note
"for flights at and below 4400 MSL see charlotte VFR sectional chart" may be
found on the WAC near RDU. This is your clue that the RDU airspace extends to
4,400'.
