Hello all!
I'm wondering about a notation I've seen on a couple of VFR sectional charts. A small area - no bigger than about 3 or 4 miles on a side - will be outlined with thin black dashed lines, with a note "street pattern". The note is in the same typeface used for other landmarks like "golf course", "plant", "hospital", etc. Does it mean something like "unusual street pattern that is a good visual landmark"? Or something closer to "this might sort of look like a runway, but it's not, so don't land on it"? I've looked through the User's Guide at http://www.naco.faa.gov/index.asp?xm...ine/aero_guide but the answer didn't jump out at me; is there a better place to look for things like this? One example is about 10 miles due east of MKO (Muskogee, Oklahoma). See http://skyvector.com/perl/code?id=KMKO&scale=2 and look east of MKO and just north of the small town of Braggs. (For those of you keeping score at home, this is on the Dallas-Ft. Worth sectional.) Here is a Google Maps satellite photo of the same area: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&z=14...-95.189667&t=h Thanks! Matt Roberds |
