Study Notes
Federal Airways
- Federal Airways are designated as Class E airspace extending from 1,200 feet above ground level (AGL) to 17,999 feet mean sea level (MSL).
- The width of a Federal Airway is 4 nautical miles on each side of the centerline.
Class D Airspace
- Normal Visual Flight Rules (VFR) operations in Class D require a ceiling of at least 1,000 feet and visibility of 3 miles.
- Class D airspace is defined as existing around airports with operational control towers.
Altimeter Settings
- At 18,000 feet MSL, pilots must set the altimeter to the standard pressure setting of 29.92 inches of mercury.
Sectional Charts
- A blue segmented circle on a Sectional Chart indicates Class D airspace.
Radio Communication Requirements
- Two-way radio communication with Air Traffic Control (ATC) is mandatory for landings and takeoffs at all tower-controlled airports, irrespective of weather conditions.
- Prior to entering Class C airspace, pilots must establish two-way radio communication with the appropriate ATC facility.
Class C Airspace Equipment Requirements
- Minimum equipment for VFR operations in Class C airspace includes two-way radio communications, a 4096-code transponder, and an encoding altimeter.
Class B Airspace Requirements
- A Private Pilot Certificate or a Student Pilot Certificate with the appropriate endorsements is required for operations within Class B airspace.
- Minimum radio equipment for Class B airspace includes two-way radio communications, a 4096-code transponder, and an encoding altimeter.
Transponder and Altimeter Requirements
- An operable 4096-code transponder and Mode C encoding altimeter are mandatory in Class B airspace and within 30 nautical miles of a Class B primary airport.
VFR Flight Regulations
- VFR flights are prohibited in Class A airspace.
- For VFR operations in controlled airspace below 1,200 feet AGL, maintain a minimum horizontal distance of 2,000 feet from clouds.
Class G Airspace Requirements
- Minimum visibility for VFR operations in Class G airspace at 700 feet AGL during daylight is 1 mile visibility and clear of clouds.
Airway Operation Standards
- The minimum flight visibility for VFR flight operations below 10,000 feet MSL on an airway is 3 miles.
- The minimum distance from clouds for VFR operations below 10,000 feet MSL is 500 feet below, 1,000 feet above, and 2,000 feet horizontally from clouds.
