Study Notes

Class B Airspace

Dallas Executive (RBD): Floor is at 3,000 feet MSL.
Ft. Worth Alliance (AFW): Floor located at 4,000 feet MSL.

Class C Airspace

Outer rings typically have a 10 NM radius from the airport.
Remote pilots must receive ATC authorization to operate within Class C airspace.
Savannah Class C airspace floor at the shelf area is 1,300 feet MSL.

Vertical Limits and Control Towers

Vertical limit of Class C airspace over the airport is 4,000 feet above airport elevation.
Class D airspace remains in effect until the control tower closes; transitions to Class E or G during tower off hours.

Regulatory Requirements for Unmanned Aircraft

Authorization from ATC is required before operating near controlled airspace.
Surface Class G airspace can be operated without prior ATC authorization.

Airspace Designations and Characteristics

Class D airspace is depicted with a blue segmented circle on charts.
Prohibited Areas (A) restrict aircraft flight for security reasons.
Military Operations Areas (MOAs) are established for separating military training from IFR traffic.

NOTAMs and Flight Restrictions

Flight Data Center (FDC) NOTAMs provide temporary flight restrictions and important regulatory information.
NOTAMs indicate time-critical information affecting the national airspace system.
Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) protect public figures or events, apply to all pilots, including UA.

Special Air Traffic Considerations

Pilots should exercise caution in MOAs, especially during military activities.
NOTAM instructs pilots on operations during special events, such as airshows.
Clearance is necessary before entering Military Training Routes (VR/IR).

Surveying and Operations

Conducting drone operations near airports requires checking NOTAMs and obtaining necessary permissions.
Precautions must be taken when operating in areas with active military operations or known hazards to flight safety.
