  • The floor at Addison Airport is 3,000 feet MSL.
  • Minimum certification required: Private Pilot Certificate or Student Pilot with endorsements.
  • Minimum radio equipment: two-way radio, 4096-code transponder, encoding altimeter.
  • Special VFR not authorized at Dallas-Fort Worth International and Dallas Love Field.

Class D Airspace

  • Represented by a blue segmented circle on a Sectional Chart.
  • Airspace classification applies only when the control tower is operational.
  • Lateral dimensions determined by instrument procedures.
  • When control tower closes, reverts to Class E or a mix of Class E and G airspace.
  • Non-tower satellite airports require radio contact with the primary tower.

Class C Airspace

  • Two-way radio communication required prior to entering.
  • Initial action: contact approach control on the appropriate frequency.
  • Vertical limit above primary airport typically 4,000 feet AGL.
  • Procedural Outer Area radius generally 20 NM.
  • Operations must involve equipped aircraft with 4096-code transponder and Mode C Encoding.
  • Pilots from satellite airports must contact ATC as soon as practicable post-takeoff.

Additional Airspace Classes

  • The floor of Savannah Class C airspace at the shelf area is 1,300 feet MSL.
  • Norfolk International requires a Mode C transponder and two-way radio for takeoff and landing.

Class E and G Airspace

  • Federal Airways are Class E from 1,200 feet to 17,999 feet MSL.
  • Class E airspace extends from either 700 or 1,200 feet AGL to but not including 18,000 feet MSL.
  • NALF Fentress Airport is situated in Class E airspace.
  • Class G airspace stretches from the surface up to 1,200 feet AGL and merges with Class E above.

Restricted and MOA Operations

  • Restricted areas like R-5302B may contain unusual hazards such as aerial gunnery.
  • MOAs (Military Operations Areas) involve military training with potentially abrupt maneuvers.
  • Pilots may fly through restricted areas only with controlling agency authorization and should exercise caution in MOAs.
  • Collision avoidance in alert areas is a shared responsibility among all pilots.

General Aviation Rules

  • No lower than 2,000 feet AGL when flying over national wildlife refuges.
  • VFR flights are prohibited in Class A airspace.
