1.3.2 VRF Checkpoints
Visual Flight Rules (VFR) checkpoints on a sectional chart are reference points or visual landmarks that can be useful for small Unmanned Aircraft (UA) pilots to navigate and maintain situational awareness during their flights.
What is a Visual Flight Rule (VFR)?
As a drone pilot you should expect a higher volume of manned aircraft traffic here.
Whenever you encounter a small magenta-colored flag, it signifies a visual reporting checkpoint or waypoint utilized by manned VFR aircraft.
Visual Flight Rules (VFR) checkpoints on a sectional chart are reference points or visual landmarks that can be useful for small Unmanned Aircraft (UA) pilots to navigate and maintain situational awareness during their flights. While small UA pilots may not operate in the same manner as manned aircraft, having an understanding of VFR checkpoints on sectional charts can still be valuable for orientation and planning.
