Hampton Roads Airport is located in which area number?

• A. Area 2
• B. Area 3
• C. Area 1
• D. Area 4

Answer: (A)

Understanding how the chart divides the region into numbered sectors is what this question tests. The aviation chart uses distinct areas to label where airports sit within a regional grid, so you identify the airport by the area boundary it falls inside. The Hampton Roads Airport symbol is shown within the boundary labeled as the second area, which is why that designation is the correct one. The other area boundaries do not include the airport symbol, so they don’t apply to its location. When studying, always verify the airport’s position against the chart’s area boundaries and the legend, since chart scales or editions can change how the areas are labeled.
