Chapter 9 (Airspace section)

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.

(Fig 22, area 3) The vertical limits of that portion of Class E airspace designated as a Federal Airway over Magee Airport are

1,200 feet AGL to 17,999 feet MSL.

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.

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

1,300 feet MSL.

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

18,000 feet MSL.

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

2,000 feet AGL.

Pilots flying over a national wildlife refuge are requested to fly no lower than

2,000 feet AGL.

(Fig 25, area 7) The airspace overlying Collin Co RGL McKinney (TKI) is controlled from the surface to

2,900 feet MSL.

The radius of the procedural Outer Area of Class C airspace is normally

20 NM

(Fig 25, area 2) The floor of Class B airspace at Addison Airport is

3,000 feet MSL.

The vertical limit of Class C airspace above the primary airport is normally

4,000 feet AGL.

(Fig 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.

In which type of airspace are VFR flights prohibited?

Class A.

Two-way radio communication must be established with the Air Traffic Control facility having jurisdiction over the area prior to entering which class airspace?

Class C.

(Fig 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.

(Fig 20, area 1) The NALF Fentress (NFE) Airport is in what type of airspace?

Class E.

(Fig 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. (Blue shading on bottom left corner)

(Fig 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.

Which initial action should a pilot take prior to entering Class C airspace?

Contact approach control on the appropriate frequency.

(Fig 25) At which airports is fixed-wing Special VFR not authorized?

Dallas-Fort Worth International and Dallas Love Field.

What action should a pilot take when operating under VFR in a Military Operations Area (MOA)?

Exercise extreme caution when military activity is being conducted.

(Fig 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.

(Fig 26, area 2) What hazards to aircraft may exist in areas such as Devils Lake East MOA?

Military training activities that necessitate acrobatic or abrupt flight maneuvers.

(Fig 20, area 1) What minimum radio equipment is required to land and take off at Norfolk International?

Mode C transponder and two-way radio.

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

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

When a control tower, located on an airport within Class D airspace, ceases operation for the day, what happens to the airspace designation?

The airspace reverts to Class E or a combination of Class E and G airspace during the hours the tower is not in operation.

Under what condition may an aircraft operate from a satellite airport within Class C airspace?

The pilot must contact ATC as soon as practicable after takeoff.

(Fig 69) What minimum equipment is required for a flight from Kleberg Co. Airport (area 7) to Corpus Christi Intl. (area 3)?

Two-way radio and Mode C transponder with altitude reporting equipment.

What minimum radio equipment is required for VFR operation within Class B airspace?

Two-way radio communications equipment, a 4096-code transponder, and an encoding altimeter.

What minimum radio equipment is required for operation within Class C airspace?

Two-way radio communications equipment, a 4096-code transponder, and an encoding altimeter.

(Fig 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.

Under what condition, if any, may pilot fly through a restricted area?

With the controlling agency's authorization.

Responsibility for collision avoidance in an alert area rests with

all pilots.

All operations within Class C airspace must be in

an aircraft equipped with a 4096-code transponder with mode C encoding capability.

Unless otherwise authorized, two-way radio communications with Air Traffic Control are required for landings or takeoffs

at all tower controlled airports regardless of weather conditions.

A non-tower satellite airport, within the same Class D airspace as that designated for the primary airport, requires radio communications be established and maintained with the

primary airport's control tower.

(Fig 59, area 3) The airspace directly overlying the town of Findlay is

surface area Class E airspace.

The lateral dimensions of Class D airspace are based on

the instrument procedures for which the controlled airspace is established.

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

when the associated control tower is in operation.
