Sectional Chart Airport Symbols

An airport symbol printed in magenta on a sectional chart indicates that the airport

  • A.lies inside Class C airspace
  • B.is a military airfield
  • C.has no control tower
Correct answer

C. has no control tower

Why

Magenta airport symbols show airports without a control tower. Airspace class is read from the airspace boundary lines, not from the airport symbol color, and military fields have their own naming and data conventions.
