Enroute Chart Airspace Explained | Compulsory Reporting Points

Airspace and other symbols are depicted on the low enroute chart with IFR flight in mind. There are a number of symbols, especially compulsory and non compulsory reporting points, which are new on the low enroute chart if you've been using the VFR sectional to this point.

"When we are flying IFR we don't need to be cleared in various classes of airspaces". That is true for most of the categories. If my route leads me through any (i.e.R-123) restricted airspace I will ALWAYS ask if I am cleared to enter that airspace. Never assume. We are all humans and make mistakes. It's ultimately your butt that could be vectored through an active artillery range.

As I look at the low altitude enroute chart, I remember back to 1967 and my 1st day working as a controller at an ARTCC. We were given the charts covering the center airspace and a 24”x30” blank sheet of paper and told that at the end of two weeks we would be required from memory to redraw the charts on the blank sheet of paper. We did the same for the high altitude airspace in the subsequent week.

Just discovered this channel. Best graphics, best explanations, just amazing! Please keep them coming!

[@flightinsight9111]

Thanks! New videos are always coming out!

[@dillcifer]

About a decade ago, Salt Lake Center (controlling areas like Montana and North Dakota) began eliminating all Class G in nowhereland. They only do the 700agl / 1200agl stuff too.

[@markverdun8236]

Hands down the best aviation training videos. Taking my IFR rating at the moment and your videos are incredibly helpful for my study. Really appreciate all you do in educating the aviation community. Keep up the great work!

[@danielrossi4098]

Man, your videos are so well put together, well phrased, etc. thank you so much for your help!

[@wingman2469]

Great content, great refresher course, things you don’t see or use day to day can be forgotten pretty quick. Thanks for making these resources available

[@raccoonair]

Great overview and learn/review clip; thanks for sharing!

[@user-px5ch9bf4r]

Ah P-50. I remember that in my flight training out of KCRG. I probably kept a way more than necessary distance out over the water flying VFR than I needed too.

[@zandrawerenko5698]

Thanks! Excellent videos to refresh and to refer confidently to those starting off! Great job!

[@vittoriafiorentini8276]

Great videos! Please make more IFR! Thank you very much again

[@abbieamavi]

Excellent as always!!! Thank you for these. Brushing up for my CFII Checkride in 2 weeks 😊

[@kylebeatty3466]

Discovered the channel a couple days ago. Great explanations and graphics.

[@jimguida604]

I am CFII and I find these videos extremely useful to me and my students. Thx

[@menahgo9574]

Your videos helped me pass my instrument checkride. Love this stuff. You should do a video on the super unused stuff such as the W on approach plates which relates to waas outages or the ice symbol which is having to adjust your altimeter below a certain temperature. There are so many things that no one covers and one has to do a lot of research to find: would be super helpful. Much love, thanks

Man, I even like your voice with all these videos

[@selcukzengin200]

I am amazed by your style. Can you make a series of approach charts after SIDs and STARs. I mean lots of info available on the web but some key points and subtle details are generally not mentioned. Thank you again for this video.

[@flightinsight9111]

You're looking for a series of approach chart videos like walking through each one step by step? Any specific approaches or types of approaches you have in mind? I think this is a good idea that might work in the near future. If you're looking for general tutorials on approach plates, you can check the other IFR videos on this channel!

[@selcukzengin200]

@@flightinsight9111 Not exactly. I have seen your videos tutorials on approach plates. They are way too good. I mean subtle details such as VDP and MAP. I have seen a good detail about when we should make a Missed Approach when we are in Non-Precision Appr. I guess it was a couple of weeks earlier video. For instance, steep approaches or what happens when we lost our vertical guidance on an approach (for those who do not know) or maybe you could show some simplified chart as you did in the previous video when you were explaining V- airways (You erased a couple of unrelated or over-lapped lines). For example, I had a hard time understanding the Jeppesen Charts while I was looking profile section. There are bold black arrows before and after MAP, VDP. Maybe, I can say some charts have OM, IM, and MM but some only have one or two. I wrote some details when I first started to study IFR charts. I do hope I made my thoughts clear.

[@flightinsight9111]

@@selcukzengin200 That's very helpful! Thanks!

[@amandasuter9762]

I used to fly skydivers out of KFHB....Gotta be really careful of that P-50 but it's cool bc if you are lucky you may just spot what goes in/out of there.

[@DanielDuhon]

Thanks! I do have a question: for the last thing you talked about with the zig zag line indicating an airway is not in use, why wouldn’t they just remove the airway from the chart?

[@Bluerazor52]

I also wondered that. Maybe so the airway doesn't just end once it gets to the unusable part then pick up further along.

[@marcuscobra8662]

Bro! This is awesome! How can I contribute to your channel? You’ve helped my ifr training tremendously!

[@flightinsight9111]

Thanks Marcus! That's very kind. We do have a Patreon at www.patreon.com/Flightinsight1, but honestly it would mean so much just to spread the word about our content to others far and wide!

[@dylanhammonds5270]

the unusable airway is still shown to show that you can use the radial to identify where you are

[@Skepilot]

The tan areas depicting class G up to 14,500' by Dillon airport are not on the current charts. Were they removed recently, or were you showing an old chart?

[@flightinsight9111]

Huh, yeah it looks like the Class G is gone around there now. The charts in this vid were from last September, so there must have just been a change. You can still find Class G at high altitudes in Alaska, though.

[@Skepilot]

After a cursory search, I don’t see any in Alaska, either. Wonder if the FAA got rid of all such areas.

[@nstarbill]

Great content! Will you be my CFII? 😉

[@flightinsight9111]

Wish we could go fly right now! Have to settle for video learnin' in the meantime!

[@sjaviation]

You CAN go through prohibited airspace, same restriction as restricted airspace, though less common to receive clearance through.

[@likes-yv3lj]

2:44 what that’s crazy! So your telling me I can legally fly through clouds and log it and don’t have to talk to atc

[@WabbitWay]

superb channel. Severely underrated by the "unwashed masses" lol

Somewhere off Lake Michigan? Stay warm up there!

Nobody calls Centers “R-TACS”

EVER! They have always been "art-c" or "art see".
