Quiz 3 - Airspace and Charts

Normal VFR operations in Class D airspace with an operating control tower require the ceiling and visibility to be at least

1,000 feet and 3 miles.

Unless otherwise specified, Federal Airways include that Class E airspace extending upward from

1,200 feet above the surface up to and including 17,999 feet MSL.

(Refer to Figure 23, area 3.) What is the floor of the Savannah Class C airspace at the shelf area (outer circle)?

1,300 feet MSL.

(Refer to Figure 23, area 3.) What is the height of the lighted obstacle approximately 6 nautical miles southwest of Savannah International?

1,545 feet MSL.

With certain exceptions, Class E airspace extends upward from either 700 feet or 1,200 feet AGL to, but does not include,

18,000 feet MSL.

(Refer to Figure 20, area 2.) The elevation of the Chesapeake Regional Airport is

19 feet.

(Refer to Figure 26, area 3.) When flying over Arrowwood National Wildlife Refuge, a pilot should fly no lower than

2,000 feet AGL.

(Refer to Figure 20, area 3.) Determine the approximate latitude and longitude of Currituck County Airport.

36°24'N - 76°01'W.

(Refer to Figure 25, area 4.) The floor of Class B airspace overlying Hicks Airport (T67) north-northwest of Fort Worth Meacham Field is

4,000 feet MSL.

Which is true concerning the blue and magenta colors used to depict airports on Sectional Aeronautical Charts?

Airports with control towers underlying Class B, C, D, and E airspace are shown in blue.

In which type of airspace are VFR flights prohibited?

Class A.

(Refer to Figure 25, area 4.) The airspace directly overlying Fort Worth Meacham is

Class D airspace to 3,200 feet MSL.

A blue segmented circle on a Sectional Chart depicts which class airspace?

Class D.

(Refer to figure 20, area 1.) The NALF Fentress (NFE) Airport is in what type of airspace?

Class E.

(Refer to Figure 26, area 5.) The airspace overlying and within 5 miles of Barnes County Airport is

Class G airspace from the surface to 700 feet AGL.

(Refer to Figure 26, area 1.) Identify the airspace over Tomlinson Airport.

Class G airspace — surface up to but not including 1,200 feet AGL; Class E airspace — 1,200 feet AGL up to but not including 18,000 feet MSL. Yes, Tomlinson sits in Restricted Area R-5401, but don't let that throw you off. Remember that sometimes, Restricted Areas don't start until thousands of feet above the surface. Recall that you can check the border of the Sectional Chart for more information about restricted and other Special Use airspace areas.

(Refer to Figure 25.) At which airports is fixed-wing Special VFR not authorized?

Dallas-Fort Worth International and Dallas Love Field.

(Refer to Figure 21, area 3.) What type military flight operations should a pilot expect along IR 644?

IFR training flights above 1,500 feet AGL at speeds in excess of 250 knots.

Which statement about longitude and latitude is true?

Lines of longitude cross the Equator at right angles.

(Refer to Figure 75, west of Area 6.) During preflight planning, your course is plotted to fly through R-2305. Where would you find additional information regarding this airspace?

On the Sectional Chart in the Special Use Airspace area.

What minimum pilot certification is required for operation within Class B airspace?

Private Pilot Certificate or Student Pilot Certificate with appropriate logbook endorsements.

(Refer to Figure 20 area 4.) What hazards to aircraft may exist in restricted areas such as R-5302B?

Unusual, often invisible, hazards such as aerial gunnery or guided missiles.

(Refer to Figure 59, area 3.) The airspace directly overlying the town of Findlay is

surface area Class E airspace.

(Refer to Figure 20, area 2.) The flag symbol at Lake Drummond represents a

visual checkpoint used to identify position for initial callup to Norfolk Approach Control.

Airspace at an airport with a part-time control tower is classified as Class D airspace only

when the associated control tower is in operation.
