All about Area 5
It all begins with an idea.
Area 5 is a combination of both low altitude and high altitude airspace. Area 5 controls the airspace surrounding the TRACON at Ellsworth AFB. Between the AFB and the nearby SUA, traffic in Area 5 includes a high volume of military traffic. This Area also encompasses the northeast arrival gate for D01 and is actively involved in TMIs for aircraft proceeding to airports east of ZDV.
