Study Notes

Airspace Classification and Requirements

Class G Airspace: Extends from the surface up to but not including 1,200 feet AGL; transitions to Class E airspace at 1,200 feet AGL up to but not including 18,000 feet MSL.
Minimum Altitude for Wildlife Areas: Pilots must fly no lower than 2,000 feet AGL over areas such as Arrowwood National Wildlife Refuge.
Night Visibility in Class G: Minimum visibility of 3 miles is required for flight at 3,000 feet AGL and below 10,000 feet MSL.
Day VFR Visibility in Class G: Minimum visibility of 1 mile and remain clear of clouds when flying at 700 feet AGL.

Class C and D Airspace Regulations

Operations in Class C Airspace: Pilots must contact ATC as soon as practicable after taking off from a satellite airport within Class C airspace.
Vertical Limits of Class E Airspace: Defined area over Magee Airport ranges from 1,200 feet AGL to 17,999 feet MSL.
Floor of Class E Airspace: Above Georgetown Airport, Class E airspace starts at 3,823 feet MSL.
Vertical Limit of Class C Airspace: Typically extends to 4,000 feet AGL above the primary airport.

Equipment and Compliance in Airspace

Transponder Requirements in Class C: All operations must occur in aircraft equipped with a 4096-code transponder with Mode C.
Radio Requirements for Norfolk International: Mode C transponder and two-way radio are mandatory for takeoff and landing.

Safety and Hazard Awareness

Military Operations Areas (MOA): Hazards like acrobatic or abrupt maneuvers are common; exercise caution.
Visibility and Cloud Clearance in Class C: To operate VFR at 1,200 feet AGL over Sandpoint Airport, pilots need 3 miles visibility and specific cloud clearance measurements.
Restricted Areas Hazards: Operations may encounter unusual hazards, such as aerial gunnery or guided missiles, especially in restricted areas like R-5302B.

Additional Airspace Information

Outer Area Radius of Class C: Typically has a radius of 20 nautical miles from the primary airport.
Initial Actions for Class C Entry: Pilots should contact approach control on the designated frequency before entering Class C airspace.
Findlay's Airspace Classification: The town is situated in surface area Class E airspace.
VFR in Military Operations Areas: Pilots must exercise extreme caution when military activities are taking place.
TRSA Service: Provides sequencing and separation for participating VFR aircraft within terminal radar services.
