What airspace is blue?

What airspace is blue?

Class D Airspace
Class D Airspace, indicated by the dashed blue line. Class D Airspace is around medium-sized airports and typically has a blue number inside of a blue box. In the example image above, the blue number in the box is 30, meaning the airspace ceiling extends up to 3,000 feet.

What does a blue airway on a low enroute chart indicate?

Joint Victor/RNAV routes are depicted using black for the Victor airways and blue for the RNAV routes, and the identification boxes for each are shown adjacent to one another. On joint routes, or Victor routes, RNAV specific information is printed in blue.

What is Federal airway?

The airway includes the airspace between lines diverging at angles of 4.5° from the center line at each navigational aid and extending until they intersect opposite the changeover point; or. The changeover point is not midway between the navigational aids.

What is the difference between AGL and MSL?

Above Ground Level, or AGL, describes the literal height above the ground over which you’re flying. Mean Sea Level, or MSL, is your true altitude or elevation. A plane that flies at 10,000 feet MSL and stays level registers as flying at 10,000 feet MSL — no matter the terrain changes below the pilot.

Is Class D airspace AGL or MSL?

Class D airspace is generally airspace from the surface to 2,500 feet above the airport elevation (charted in MSL) surrounding those airports that have an operational control tower.

What is the difference between blue and green airports?

Those in BLUE have an Instrument Approach Procedure and/or RADAR MINIMA published at least in the High Altitude DoD FLIPs. Facilities in BROWN do not have a published Instrument Procedure or RADAR MINIMA. So the green ones are in the FAA TPP but not in the DoD High Altitude FLIPs.

What are colored Federal airways?

The L/MF airways (colored airways) are predicated solely on L/MF navigation aids and are depicted in brown on aeronautical charts and are identified by color name and number; e.g., Amber One. Green and Red airways are plotted east and west. Amber and Blue airways are plotted north and south.

How high are Federal airways?

altitude airways in the United States can be navigated using NAVAIDs, have names that start with the letter V, and are called Victor Airways. [Figure 2-3] They cover altitudes from approximately 1,200 feet above ground level (AGL) up to, but not including 18,000 feet above mean sea level (MSL).

Can you have a negative AGL?

Built-in drone limits measure AGL altitude This also means that it’s possible to get a negative altitude reading if you take off at a high spot and fly down.

What is a terminal area chart VFR?

Terminal Area Chart. Terminal Area Charts (TACs) provide a large-scale portrayal of selected metropolitan complexes to satisfy pilotage and local control requirements. The 1:250,000 scale VFR Terminal Area Chart (TAC) Series depict the airspace designated as Class B Airspace.

What is the difference between the VFR charts and sectional charts?

The 1:250,000 scale VFR Terminal Area Chart (TAC) Series depict the airspace designated as Class B Airspace. The information found on these charts portrays much more detail than is found on the Sectional Charts because of the larger scale.

What is a raster VFR chart?

VFR Raster Charts. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) digital-Visual Chart series is designed to meet the needs of users who require georeferenced raster images of FAA Visual Flight Rules (VFR) charts. An Aeronautical Raster Chart is a digital image of an FAA VFR Chart. All information that is part of the paper chart is included in the file.
