Study Notes
Federal Airways and Airspace Classes
- Federal Airways are Class E airspace extending from 1,200 feet MSL to 17,999 feet MSL.
- The width of a Federal Airway is 4 nautical miles from the centerline.
VFR Operations and Altimeter Settings
- In Class D airspace with an operational control tower, VFR operations require a ceiling of at least 1,000 feet and visibility of 3 miles.
- The altimeter must be set to 29.92 inches of mercury when climbing to 18,000 feet MSL.
Airspace Visualization and Control Towers
- A blue segmented circle on a Sectional Chart indicates Class D airspace.
- Class D airspace designation applies to airports with a part-time control tower only when the tower is operational.
Communication Requirements
- Two-way radio communications with Air Traffic Control are mandatory for all landings or takeoffs at tower-controlled airports.
- Prior to entering Class C airspace, two-way radio communication must be established with the Air Traffic Control facility in charge.
Radio Equipment for Class C and B Airspace
- Minimum radio requirements for Class C airspace include two-way communication, a 4096-code transponder, and an encoding altimeter.
- A Private Pilot Certificate or a Student Pilot Certificate with appropriate logbook endorsements is required for Class B airspace operations.
- VFR operations in Class B airspace necessitate two-way radio communications equipment, a 4096-code transponder, and an encoding altimeter.
Transponder and Mode C Requirements
- An operable 4096-code transponder and Mode C encoding altimeter are necessary in Class B airspace and within 30 miles of the Class B primary airport.
VFR Flight Regulations
- VFR flights are prohibited in Class A airspace.
- The minimum horizontal distance from clouds for VFR in controlled airspace below 1,200 feet AGL is 2,000 feet.
- In Class G airspace below 700 feet AGL during daylight, the minimum visibility is 1 mile and must remain clear of clouds.
Visibility Requirements for Airways
- Minimum flight visibility for VFR on an airway below 10,000 feet MSL is 3 miles.
- The required distance from clouds for VFR operations on an airway below 10,000 feet MSL is 500 feet below, 1,000 feet above, and 2,000 feet horizontally.
