IIRC, The yellow represents areas under the FAR's which are
considered congested areas and require 1000' clearance within a 2000' radius.

Where on the legend can this be found? My answer was "congested areas of a city or town" which I though sounded official enough to work. Ah-Ha, he says, "Show me." The specific area in question is just south of Sunriver, on the Klamath Falls sectional. (DSD 175 @ about 25nm) I've flown over it, and it is a combination of golf courses. Over beer last night, one fellow suggested that it is marked that way for "National Security Reasons". Wink, Wink, nudge, nudge, "You are not supposed to ask.", "Why do you think they left it off the legend." Am I just blind? Is the print too small? Can anyone else find it on the legend?

My flight instructor. I haven't verified it, but it made sense.

Don't think you can find any legal reference to support your claim. If you compare the yellow on a sectional and a terminal area chart they don't match. |

Hmm. Then the question arises, what feature of a VFR sectional shows
the boundaries of congested areas? If it isn't documented, I don't see how legally they can enforce it. Other than the obvious "We're the FAA, that's how" On Tue, 21 Jun 2005 03:42:06 GMT, "Dave Stadt" wrote: \ "Jimbob" wrote in message .. .

Other than the obvious "We're the FAA, that's how" That's basically it. The no-so-funny joke goes that, if someone can get your N-number without binocs and registers a complaint, you were too low.
