Study Notes
Class D Airspace
- Appears on maps with a blue dotted line.
- Extends from the surface up to 2,500 feet above an airport with an operational control tower.
- The "D" signifies Dime Sized or Diminutive airports.
- The ceiling is indicated by the number of brackets on aeronautical charts.
- For example, 42 brackets mean a ceiling of 4,200 feet MSL.
- Class D airspace starting at the surface up to 2,000 feet is represented as [-20].
Control Tower Operations
- If the control tower is closed, Class E surface area rules apply, combined with Class G rules down to the surface.
- Upon the control tower ceasing operation, the airspace reverts to Class E or a combination of Class E and G airspace.
Class E Airspace
- Comprises eight types of airspaces.
- Present on maps as a magenta dotted circle.
- Authorization to fly in Class E may be necessary if it extends from Class B, C, or D.
- Class E starting at 700 feet AGL appears as thick, magenta shaded "fuzzy" circles.
- Class E starting at 1,200 feet AGL is not depicted on maps; knowledge of the airspace is required.
- Can begin from the surface, 700 feet AGL, or 1,200 feet AGL.
Class G Airspace
- Known as uncontrolled airspace, it includes regions not designated as Class A, B, C, D, or E.
- sUAS operators can fly in Class G without prior authorization, unlike in controlled airspaces which require permission.
