National Airspace System

On final approach to Runway 9, the aircraft will be heading from west to east on a 090 heading. Thus the aircraft is west of the airport.

Hilton Head Airport is located in Class C airspace, from the surface up to 4,100 feet MSL (41/SFC) as shown by the solid magenta line encompassing the airport. The surface area Class C airspace extends 5 miles out from the center of the airport.

Graticules on sectional charts are the lines dividing each 30 minutes of latitude and each 30 minutes of longitude. Each tick mark represents one minute of latitude or longitude. Latitude increases northward, west longitude increases going westward. The Garrison (Pvt) Airport is located at approximately 47 degrees 40"N latitude and 101 degrees 26'00"W longitude.

Refer to Appendix 1, Legend 1. The flag symbol represents a visual checkpoint used by manned aircraft to identify the position to initiate their contact with Norfolk Approach Control. As a defined checkpoint, a higher volume of air traffic should be expected there.

FDC NOTAMs are issued by the National Flight Data Center and contain regulatory information, such as TFRs.

NOTAMs provide time-critical aeronautical information either temporary in nature or not sufficiently known in advance to permit publication on aeronautical charts or in other operational publications.
