FAR: Airspace Flashcards
(67 cards)
Class A: give 5 requirements to fly in…
1- IFR clearance
2- IFR flight plan; (there are no vfr minimums)
3- mode c (altitude reporting);
4- ADS-B
5- two way coms;
Class B: usual verticle boundary?
From surface to 10,000 msl
Class B: Equipment required
(1) 2 way com, (2) 4096 code transponder, encoding altimeter (within and above lateral limit and in mode c veil)
(3) ADS-B out
Class B: 4 operating rules
(1) clearance required to enter
(2) at least private pilot (student pilot may IF received ground & flight instruction and logbook endorsement)
(3) max speed - under shelf and in B corridor: 200kt / 250kt IN class B
(4) need 4096 transponder (incoding ) and ADS-B
Describe mode C veil
1- airspace within 30 nm of class B airport
2- from surface to 10,000 msl. 3- mode C transponder & ads-B required.
Class C airspace normally consist of:
1- 5 nm radius surface area
2- surface to 4000 agl
3- shelf floor on sectional msl
Class C airspace: equipment needed to enter
(Same as B)
(1) 2 way radio
(2) 4096 code transponder with mode C
(3) ads b out
What must you hear from ATC To enter class C airspace?
Establish com with atc. (If you hear your TAIL #, you have established communication)
When departing satellite airport under class c without control tower, contact ATC…
As soon as practable
The procedural outer area of class C airspace is normally…
20 nm from the a/p
up to the outer ring (10 nm from the a/p)
To enter class c airspace contact…
Contact approach control
Class C airspace identified on sectional by…
Solid magenta circles
Class B Airport identified on sectional by…
Solid blue circles/ lines
Class D Airport identified on sectional by ….
Dashed blue circles
When a part time control tower at class D Airport is not in operation, the surface becomes…
Either class E
or class G, or a combination of Class E and G
Class D airspace normally extends from….
Surface to 2500 ft AGL charted on the sectional as ft MSL
Equipment needed to enter Class D airspace…
2 way radio.
2 way communication must be established with ATC prior to entering. (When you hear your tail #, you have established communication.)
Most controlled lateral airspace dimensions are based on…
The instrument procedures for which the controlled airspace is established
Class E airspace defined limits…
No defined limits but normally begin at either 700 ft AGL (indicated by feathered magenta) or 1200 ft AGL up to class A airspace.
No equipment required if VFR but it is controlled airspace.
Federal airways are considered class —- airspace
E
Blue colored airports on sectional (Airport with control tower) in class E airspace require what to operate in?
2 way Radio
To operate in, to, or through or within 4 nm of such airports require pic to establish and maintain 2 way communication with tower from surface up to and including 2,500 ft AGL.
Class G airspace exists where?
Beneath the floor of controlled airspace that does not extend to the ground
The only uncontrolled airspace is…
Class G
A dashed magenta circle around an airport indicates….
Class E surface area i.e., class E goes all the way down to the surface
