• Airways ( Victor and Jet)

• Intersections, waypoints and other named fixes

• Class B, C, and D airspace

• Obstacles (>200’ AGL)

• Certain classes of special use airspace(Prohibited, Restricted, Warning,

Alert, and Military Operating Areas)

Navigational symbols used by Map are shown in Table 2 through Table 6.
