Study Notes

Airspace Regulations and Classifications

  • Minimum altitude over Arrowwood National Wildlife Refuge is 2,000 feet AGL.
  • VFR flight at night outside controlled airspace requires a minimum visibility of 3 miles at altitudes between 1,200 feet AGL and 10,000 feet MSL.
  • Military Training Routes (VR and IR) are designed for low altitude, high-speed military training while ensuring civilian flight safety.
  • In controlled airspace above 10,000 feet MSL and more than 1,200 feet AGL, the minimum flight visibility is 5 miles.
  • Barnes County Airport falls under Class G airspace from the surface to 700 feet AGL.
  • Aircraft within 30 miles of a Class B primary airport must have an operable transponder (Mode S or 4096 code, with Mode C altitude reporting).

VFR Operations and Requirements

  • Minimum radio equipment in Class B airspace includes two-way radio communication, a 4096 code transponder, and an encoding altimeter.
  • Minimum distance below clouds for VFR flight at night outside controlled airspace is 500 feet.
  • Basic VFR operations in Class D airspace require ground visibility of at least 3 miles.
  • Airspace designations in the U.S. align with international classifications.
  • Uncontrolled airspace is designated as Class G.

Airspace Interaction Procedures

  • Special VFR in Class D airspace mandates contacting the Air Traffic Control Tower.
  • Class C airspace requires aircraft to have a 4096 code transponder with Mode C capable of encoding.
  • During operations in Class D airspace, weather minimums include a 1,000-foot ceiling and 3 miles visibility.
  • VFR operations at night necessitate maintaining at least 1 mile flight visibility and being clear of clouds in Class G airspace.

Restricted and Military Operations

  • Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR) protect public figures and certain events.
  • Awareness of potential hazards in areas like Devils Lake East MOA includes military training activities that might involve abrupt maneuvers.
  • Operations through restricted areas require pre-authorization from the controlling agency.

Altitude and Visibility Regulations

  • Federal airways extend Class E airspace from 1,200 feet AGL to 17,999 feet MSL.
  • VFR visibility and cloud clearance at altitudes below 10,000 feet MSL require 3 miles visibility and specific distances from clouds (500 feet below, 1,000 feet above, and 2,000 feet horizontally).
  • Class D airspace requires ceiling and visibility minimums of 1,000 feet and 3 miles, respectively.
  • The height of Class C airspace typically extends to 4,000 feet AGL above the primary airport.

Certification and Communication

  • Minimum pilot certification for Class B airspace operation includes a Private Pilot Certificate or a Student Pilot Certificate with proper endorsements.
  • Two-way radio communication with ATC is mandatory for all landings/takeoffs at towered airports, regardless of weather conditions.
  • Pilots must establish communication with ATC upon entering Class C airspace.

Additional Notes

  • The NALF Fentress (NFE) Airport is classified under Class E airspace.
  • Specific airports, such as Dallas-Fort Worth International and Dallas Love Field, do not permit fixed-wing special VFR.
  • In Class B airspace, a blue segmented circle on a sectional chart indicates Class D airspace.
