    Study Notes

    Class E Airspace Types

    • Class E airspace can be remembered using the acronym SETFODA.

    Surface

    • Class E airspace at the surface includes specific operations near airports and is designated for enhanced safety.

    Extension

    • This type refers to extensions around some airports that allow for air traffic maneuvering outside the confines of Class B or Class C airspace.

    Transition

    • Transition areas exist between 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) and 1200 feet AGL, allowing aircraft to transition to and from the terminal airspace.

    Federal Airways

    • Known as Victor airways, Jet routes, and include NDB routes, Atlantic, Gulf, and Bahamian routes. Used primarily by IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) aircraft.

    Off-Shore

    • This type includes airspace over the ocean, which is essential for managing traffic in maritime environments.

    Domestic En-route

    • This is the airspace utilized by aircraft traveling among domestic routes, effective for maintaining organized traffic flow over land.

    Above FL600

    • Refers to airspace that starts above Flight Level 600 (FL600), used for high-altitude operations and specific air traffic management needs.

    Undepicted Class E Airspace

    • If the seven types of Class E airspace mentioned are not shown on a sectional chart, Class E airspace begins at 14,500 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL).
