Which of the following colors typically indicates controlled airspace on VFR charts?

Controlled airspace is typically depicted in magenta on Visual Flight Rules (VFR) charts. This color coding helps pilots quickly identify areas where air traffic control (ATC) services are provided and where specific regulations apply. Magenta indicates class B, C, and D airspace boundaries, which have specific requirements for entry and flight operations.

Different colors on VFR charts serve various purposes: for example, blue is often used to indicate class A airspace, and red can denote other significant features or hazards, but it does not represent controlled airspace. Green might indicate airports or areas not requiring ATC clearance or procedures, making it essential for pilots to recognize these distinctions for safe navigation and compliance with regulations.
