What type of chart can be used to find the lateral and vertical airspace of an air traffic control tower Class D airspace?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When evaluating which chart type reveals the boundaries of a Class D airspace around an ATC tower, it's helpful to consider what each chart is designed to depict.
Option 1: High Altitude Chart. These charts are intended for en route navigation at high altitudes and generally do not depict detailed surface airspace classes around individual airports, so they’re not the best source for Class D boundaries.
Option 2: Standard Instrument Departure (SID). A SID chart shows the specific instrument procedures for departing an airport, including routing and altitude constraints for instrument flight rules, but it does not primarily illustrate the airspace classes or the lateral/vertical limits of Class D around the field.
Option 3: Q-routes. Q-routes are RNAV low-altitude routes used for IFR navigation between fixes; they do not delineate the local airspace structure around a towered airport, so they don’t provide the Class D boundaries.
Option 4: Sectional chart. Sectional charts are designed for VFR navigation and depict the actual lateral boundaries of airspace classes around airports, including Class D. They show the dashed blue boundary for Class D and typically indicate the base/top information, giving both lateral extent and vertical limits in the vicinity of the airport.
In summary, among the options, the sectional chart is the appropriate source to identify where Class D airspace lies around a towered airport and to read its vertical limits. The other charts serve different purposes (en route, IFR procedures, RNAV routes) and do not focus on presenting the Class D airspace boundaries around the airport.
