Which statement about sectional aeronautical charts is true?

• A. They are primarily used for aircraft navigation at high altitude
• B. They include information on airports and controlled airspace, relief features, and other data for VFR flight
• C. They do not show topographic features
• D. They are used for IFR flight planning only

Answer: (B)

Sectional charts are designed to support VFR flight by showing the information a pilot needs to navigate visually at lower altitudes. They depict airports and the airspace around them (including the boundaries and classifications of controlled airspace), along with relief features and other data that help you maintain ground reference, avoid terrain and obstacles, and plan safe routes. The shaded terrain, landmarks, towns, roads, and obstacles all combine to give you situational awareness in good visual conditions, which is essential for visual navigation.

So this statement is the best fit because sectional charts are specifically aimed at VFR operations, providing airports, airspace information, relief/topographic features, and other practical data for visual flight. They are not primarily for high-altitude navigation, they do show topographic features, and they are not used for IFR flight planning only.
