An obstacle is a spike from a dot. Two heights: bold is above sea level (ASL); bracketed is above ground (AGL).
- Radiating lines around the symbol mean lighted.
- AGL and ASL defined in CAR 101.01(1).
- Objects 300 ft AGL or higher (or lower ones judged hazardous) are normally charted; coverage not guaranteed complete (TC AIM AIR 2.4.3).
Trap: plain circle is not a paved field; bracketed height (AGL) is not ASL; hatched CYR or CYA outline is not controlled airspace (blue edge and tint is).
