Jamestown Airport is located in which area number?

• A. Area 4
• B. Area 3
• C. Area 2
• D. Area 5

Answer: (A)

On sectional charts, area numbers identify the chart grid region where a location sits, helping you orient yourself and reference weather and chart information. To find which area a particular airport is in, locate the airport symbol on the chart and look at the area number printed in the same grid block as the symbol. Jamestown Airport falls in the grid labeled Area 4, so that is the correct area. The other numbers would be in neighboring grid blocks that do not contain the airport symbol.
