Note that the airspace alerts are based on three-
dimensional data (latitude, longitude and altitude) to
avoid nuisance alerts. The alert boundaries for con-
trolled airspace are also sectorized to provide complete
information on any nearby airspace. Once one of the
described conditions exists, the message annunciator
will flash, alerting you of an airspace message.
To view an airspace alert message:

space page, additional details will be provided—includ-
ing controlling agency, communication frequencies
and floor/ceiling limits.
