The blue marking illustrated is taken from a 1:500 000 aeronautical chart. What does this symbol represent?

  • A

    A government aerodrome that is unavailable for civilian use.

  • B

    A civil aerodrome with limited or no facilities.

  • C

    A disused or abandoned aerodrome.

  • D

    A small civil aerodrome.

Refer to figure.
The figure depicts a blue circle with a diagonal cross (X) inside. It looks similar to the symbol for an aerodrome, but the cross through it indicates something important: non-use.

This symbol represents a disused or abandoned aerodrome. The airfield once existed and may still have visible runways or infrastructure. However, it is no longer maintained or available for flying operations. It is depicted because pilots may still see the physical remains of the aerodrome from the air and mistake it for an operational one.
