All about Area 3
It all begins with an idea.
Area 3 is a combination of both low altitude and high altitude airspace that encompasses the south departure gate and southeast arrival gate for D01. Area 3 controllers also work aircraft in and out of the Colorado Springs and Pueblo TRACONs. Contained within this Area is a large amount of Special Use Airspace (SUA) used for training military pilots. During the summer months, Area 3 operations are often impacted by significant weather as it forms along the Front Range and moves east of the Rocky Mountains.

I have been a controller at ZDV since 2006. I was an air traffic controller in the Airforce prior to that. I have been heavily involved in NATCA and have held positions from Area Rep, Facility Rep, and ARVP. If I’m not in the area, I’m in the gym.
