In the example flight, which area is Corpus Christi Intl. Airport located in?

• A. Area 3
• B. Area 7
• C. Area 1
• D. Area 5

Answer: (A)

Area designations on the chart divide the country into geographic sections, and you determine which area contains an airport by locating the airport on the chart and seeing which area boundary encloses it. For Corpus Christi International, the plotted location sits inside the southern coastal Texas area shown on the chart. That means the option describing that region is the correct match for the airport’s location. The other areas lie outside the airport’s boundary on the chart, so they don’t correspond to where Corpus Christi Intl. is located.
