  1. The flag indicates that there will be a large obstruction depicted on the next printing of the chart.
  2. The flag indicates a VFR check point for manned aircraft, and a higher volume of air traffic should be expected there.
  3. The flag indicates a GPS check point that can be used by both manned and remote pilots for orientation.

    Flags on a sectional chart indicate the presence of a VFR waypoint. These waypoints are used by manned aircraft pilots to identify landmarks, which means a higher volume of traffic can be expected. For more information, watch the “Miscellaneous Symbols” video.
