(Refer to Figure 75.) Near the bottom of the figure, south of Gila Bend, a restricted area is labeled R-2305. Where on the sectional chart should a remote pilot look for this area's altitudes, times of use, and controlling agency?
- AIn the label printed inside the area boundary, next to R-2305
- BIn the special use airspace tabulation printed on the chart
- CNowhere on the chart; restricted area details are published only by NOTAM
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. In the special use airspace tabulation printed on the chart
On the sectional, the area itself is marked only with its type and number. The special use airspace tabulation on the chart lists prohibited, restricted and warning areas numerically, with altitude, time of use and the controlling agency or contact facility and frequency.
- A. Incorrect. The label inside or next to the area only identifies its type and name or number.
- B. Correct. Restricted areas are listed numerically in the tabulation, with altitude, time of use and the controlling agency or contact facility.
- C. Incorrect. The sectional's special use airspace tabulation gives altitude, time of use and the controlling agency.
Marked on Figure 75: R-2305 label.
