Airspace Flashcards
The lateral dimensions of Class D airspace are based on
the instrument procedures for which the controlled airspace is established
Flight through a restricted area should not be accomplished unless the pilot has
received prior authorization from the controlling agency
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
What is required for all operations within Class C airspace
The aircraft must equipped with a 4096-transponder with Mode C encoding capability
Prior to entering an airport Advisory Area, a pilot should
Contact the local FSS for airport and traffic advisories
A blue segmented circle on a Sectional Chart depicts which class airspace?
Class D
Pilots fling over a national wildlife refuge are requested to fly no lower than
2,000 feet AGL
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
TRSA Service in the terminal radar program provides
sequencing and separation for participating VFR aircraft
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
What is required for all operations within a Class C airspace?
an aircraft equipped with 4096-code transponder with mode C encoding capability
The lateral dimensions of Class D airspace are based on
The instrument procedures for which the controlled airspace is established
Flight through a restricted area is only allowed if
a pilot has received prior authorization from the controlling agency
Responsibility for collision avoidance in an alert area rests within
All pilots
investigate cloud clearance requirements for particular types of airspaced@!!
Do it!!!
What initial action should a pilot take prior to entering Class C airspace?
Contact approach control on the appropriate frequency
The normal radius of the outer area of Class C airspace is?
20 nautical miles
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
Prior to entering an Airport Advisory Area, a pilot should
contact the local FSS for airport and traffic advisories
What happens with a control tower located on an airport within Class D airspace ceases operation for the day?
The airspace reverts to Class E or a combination of Class E and G airspace during the hours the tower is not in operation.
The vertical limit of Class C airspace
4,000 feet AGL
Under what condition, if any, may pilots fly through a restricted area?
With the controlling agency’s authorization
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
Under certain expectations, Class E airspace extends upward from either 700 feet or 1,200 feet AGL to but does not include
18,000
A blue segmented circle on a Sectional Chart depicts which class airspace?
Class D
A non-tower satellite airport, within the same Class D airspace as that designated for the primary airport, requries radio communications be established and maintained with the
primary airport’s control tower
