Interestingly, I ran across an ultralight website where they described the yellow outlines as being off-limits to them, because they're obviously congested areas. Obviosly congested? No... These are city/town areas, but they include congested and non congested areas. The Ultralight club's rule is a good rule of thumb, but it's not a FAR. The thing about Ultralights is, they need to stay 'under the radar' such that they don't raise a lot of complaints and invite extra legislation prohibiting their use. So, rules like these keep them well outside the 'problem areas'. You can legally fly an ultralight through an area depicted in yellow on the sectional, you just need to fly over only un-congested areas.

If ATC references the landmark, it should be a navigation landmark, and indicated on the sectional with a magenta flag; right? The A/FD and Flight Guide are other good places for 'local' information like this. When they have a documented procedure like this, they will usually show it on the airport diagram in or both of those books. -- Mark Hansen, PP-ASEL, Instrument Student Sacramento, CA |

If ATC references the landmark, it should be a navigation landmark, and indicated on the sectional with a magenta flag; right? Yes. The A/FD and Flight Guide are other good places for 'local' information like this. When they have a documented procedure like this, they will usually show it on the airport diagram in or both of those books. In the case in point (several years ago), I did know the location but I don't recall if it was on the chart and it most definitely was NOT on the procedure chart. I wonder how many such Nav fixes are discernable to non-locals? -- Matt --------------------- Matthew W. Barrow Site-Fill Homes, LLC. Montrose, CO |

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

IIRC, The yellow represents areas under the FAR's which are considered congested areas and require 1000' clearance within a 2000' radius. From what do you recall that?

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 .. .

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. Jim http://www.unconventional-wisdom.org |

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.
