Study Notes
Class D Airspace Overview
- Permission is required to fly within Class D airspace.
- Vertical limit is set at 2,500 feet MSL (Mean Sea Level).
- Outlined by dashed blue lines on aeronautical charts.
Characteristics of Class D Airspace
- Class D airspace always starts at ground level (surface).
- Designation [-20] indicates airspace starts at the surface and extends up to, but not including, 2,000 feet MSL.
Specific Airspace Examples
- The airspace over Addison Airport (ADS) is classified as Class D, with a vertical limit just below 3,000 feet MSL.
Recognition on Charts
- Blue segmented circles on Sectional Charts indicate the presence of Class D airspace.
Tower Operations Impact
- When a control tower at an airport within Class D airspace stops operations for the day, the airspace changes designation to Class E or a mix of Class E and G airspace.
