Broken Magenta Line on Sectional "National Security"
About 35 miles southwest of KLSC, Salt Lake City Intl (just beyond the
Mode C veil) there is a box marked by a thick broken magenta line on the Salt Lake sectional. Nearby, there is a Notice: "For National Security reasons, pilots are requested to avoid flight at/below 4,000' in this area." The area is around one of the chemical weapons stockpiles and incinerator facilities in the vast Dugway Proving Ground area. Is this broken magenta line used anywhere else? Does it have an official meaning? If National Security is the issue, why isn't the area marked as Restricted instead? Perhaps it should say "For reasons of your health and not breathing toxic chemical weapon waste smoke, you might want to fly elsewhere? |
