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).
