Sectional Chart Questions
Obstacles less than 1000 AGL
Obstacles greater than 1000 AGL
Answer: Man-made features used by FAA Air Traffic Control as checkpoints use a graphic symbol shown in black with the required elevation data in blue.
More info: The elevation of the top of the obstacle above Mean Sea Level (MSL) and the height of the structure (AGL) is also indicated (when known or can be reliably determined by a Specialist). The AGL height is in parentheses below the MSL elevation. In extremely congested areas, the FAA typically omits the AGL values to avoid Confusion.
Answer: Group Obstacle Symbol
More Info: Whenever possible, the FAA depicts specific obstacles on charts. However, in high-density areas like city complexes, only the highest obstacle is represented on the chart using the group obstacle symbol to maximize legibility. Obstacles under construction are indicated by placing the letters UC adjacent to the obstacle type
Obstacles with high-intensity strobe lighting systems may operate part-time or by proximity activation.
