Study Notes
Pilot Certification and Airspace
- Operation within Class B airspace requires at least a Private Pilot Certificate or a Student Pilot Certificate with appropriate logbook endorsements.
- The procedural outer area of Class C airspace has a normal radius of 20 nautical miles.
- The navigation facility at Dallas-Fort Worth International (DFW) is a VOR/DME located near the airport.
Special VFR and Military Operations
- Fixed-wing Special VFR is not permitted at Dallas-Fort Worth International and Dallas Love Field airports.
- Pilots operating under VFR in a Military Operations Area (MOA) should exercise extreme caution when military activities are conducted.
VFR Visibility and Communication Requirements
- Minimum flight visibility for VFR operations below 10,000 feet MSL is 3 statute miles in Class E airspace.
- Two-way radio communications with Air Traffic Control (ATC) are mandatory for landings or takeoffs at all towered airports, regardless of weather conditions.
- Airports with control towers underlying Class B, C, D, and E airspace are depicted in blue on sectional aeronautical charts.
Airspace Classification
- Dubey Airport is a privately owned, nonpublic-use airport.
- The Savannah Class C airspace shelf area floor is at 1,300 feet MSL.
- Class E airspace typically begins at 1,200 feet AGL unless designated otherwise, with Class G airspace extending from the surface up to but not including this altitude.
Airport Operations and Equipment
- The airport designation "Class D" applies only when the associated part-time control tower is in operation.
- Minimum requirements for take-offs and landings at Norfolk International include a Mode C transponder and two-way radio.
- Mc Kinney Airport (TKI) has controlled airspace extending from the surface to 2,900 feet MSL.
Miscellaneous Rules and Guidelines
- Pilots must maintain a minimum altitude of 2,000 feet AGL over national wildlife refuges unless forced to land.
- A special VFR clearance requires visibility to be at least 1 statute mile and no specific ceiling requirement while remaining clear of clouds.
- The requirement for visibility and cloud clearance during daylight hours at an altitude of 1,200 feet AGL involves 3 miles visibility and specific distances from clouds.
General Knowledge and Best Practices
- Intersection departures should be clearly communicated to the tower when initiating takeoff from a runway intersection.
- Pilots leaving non-tower satellite airports within Class D airspace must establish communications with the primary airport's control tower.
- Basic VFR weather minimums for flight operations include a 1,000-foot ceiling and 3 miles visibility within Class D airspace.### Visibility and Weather Requirements
- VFR weather minima in Class G airspace below 1,200 feet AGL requires 1 statute mile visibility and clear of clouds.
- Required visibility for VFR flight in controlled airspace, above 1,200 feet AGL but below 10,000 feet MSL, is 3 statute miles, with 500 feet below and 1,000 feet above clouds.
Maximum Elevation Figures
- Maximum elevation figure (MEF) ensures obstacle clearance.
- Flight from Gnoss Airport to Buchanan Airport requires MEF of 3,200 feet MSL for safety.
Class B Airspace Regulations
- Aircraft within 30 miles of Class B airports must have an operable transponder with Mode S or 4096-code capability and Mode C altitude reporting.
- Special VFR in Class D airspace requires contact with the Air Traffic Control Tower.
Airspace Classifications
- Class D airspace maintains specific communication and visibility requirements, including a minimum 1,000-foot ceiling and 3 miles visibility during VFR operations.
- Class C airspace necessitates two-way radio communications and a 4096-code transponder for normal operations.
Airport Operations
- Deshler Airport is classified as a public airport with a non-hard surfaced runway.
- Control tower in Class D airspace transitioning to Class E or G at night; pilots must stay aware of changes in designation.
Flight Safety Guidelines
- Minimum altitude for obstruction clearance is calculated to ensure safe distances above obstacles.
- Aircraft flying over military training areas should expect rigorous training maneuvers and potential hazards.
Special Considerations
- Pilots should maintain a minimum altitude of 2,000 feet AGL over national wildlife refuges to minimize disturbances.
- Restricted airspace should only be entered with prior authorization from the controlling agency, not simply assumed by filing a flight plan.
Miscellaneous Regulations
- The method of identifying runways includes orientation based on magnetic direction with numbers indicating the closest magnetic bearing.
- During VFR operations in Class D airspace at night, the pilot must be instrument rated and the aircraft must be equipped for instrument flight.
Military Operations Areas
- MOAs are designated to separate military training activities from IFR traffic, necessitating heightened vigilance by VFR pilots to avoid military aircraft.### Runway Usage and Airspace Classes
- Area "A" behind a displaced runway threshold can be used for taxiing, landing rollout, and takeoff, while Area "E" serves only as an overrun.
- Minimum flight visibility required for VFR flights above 10,000 feet MSL in controlled airspace is 5 statute miles, pertinent to Class E airspace.
VFR Flight Requirements
- For VFR operations above 10,000 feet MSL and over 1,200 feet AGL, maintain a minimum horizontal distance of 1 statute mile from clouds.
- In controlled airspace below 1,200 feet AGL, a 2,000 feet horizontal distance from clouds is required for VFR flights.
Obstacle Clearance and Airspace Limits
- To clear an obstacle at Winnsboro Airport by 500 feet, a minimum altitude of 1,403 feet MSL is necessary.
- Class C airspace typically extends up to 4,000 feet AGL above the primary airport.
Airspace Designations
- Sprague Airport's surrounding airspace is classified as Class G from the surface up to 1,200 feet AGL, transitioning to Class E from 1,200 feet AGL to just below 18,000 feet MSL.
- The Airport/Facility Directory section of the Chart Supplement contains information on parachute jumping areas like that of Caddo Mills Airport.
Nighttime VFR Operations
- Minimum flight visibility for VFR at night outside controlled airspace above 1,200 feet AGL but below 10,000 feet MSL is set at 3 statute miles.
- The distance below clouds requirement for nighttime VFR flight in Class G airspace is 500 feet.
Communication Requirements
- Prior to entering Class C airspace, pilots must establish communication with approach control on the appropriate frequency.
- To operate within Class B airspace, aircraft must be equipped with two-way radio communications, a 4096-code transponder, and an encoding altimeter.
Altitudes and Terrain Information
- The terrain elevation between Minot and Audubon Lake varies from 2,000 to 2,500 feet MSL.
- Minimum safe altitude over congested areas requires flying at least 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within 2,000 feet horizontally.
Radio Communication and Restricted Areas
- Two-way radio communication must be established before entering Class C airspace; this is not required for Class E and Class G airspace.
- Pilots may enter restricted areas only with authorization from the controlling agency, often handled by ATC.
Miscellaneous
- To avoid the Class D airspace at Livermore Airport, a minimum altitude of 2,901 feet MSL is necessary.
- The vertical limits of Class C airspace are commonly at 4,000 feet AGL, unless specified otherwise.
These key facts and requirements are critical for pilots to ensure safety, compliance, and awareness of airspace regulations while flying.
