activity. This includes areas surrounding
Maxwell AFB within the imaginary surfaces and
Part 77 vertical obstruction compliance.
Vertical Obstruction Awareness Area (VOAA).
This area is designed to capture the overlap of
Maxwell AFB’s and MGM’s imaginary surfaces
and provide information where the most
constrained areas are relative to the overlap of
the two airports imaginary surfaces. This is to

imaginary surfaces in this area. Proposed
development should be evaluated on a case‐by‐
case basis to foster military and public air
transport compatibility.
