A note on chart information:  

• 1:500,000 scale charts are most suited for mid-level cross-country navigation and do not contain complete information below 9,500 ft, or upper airspace information above 9,500 ft.
• 1:250,000 scale charts are most suited to low level and local navigation. They contain all information below 9,500 ft, but do not contain complete upper airspace information above 9,500ft.
