Shelf area for 1200 feet AGL to 4000 feet above the airport elevation
two way radio communication must be established prior to entry
*ADSB transmitter required within and above all class C airspace up to 10,000 feet MSL
Maintain at least 3SM accessibility 1000 above clouds 500 below clouds and 2000 horizontally from the clouds
Class D airspace
Blue segmented line
Vertical limits normally will extend from surface to 2500 feet above elevation of airport
Communication required if landing or taking off at satellite airports within class D airspace
Two way radio communication must be established prior to entry
Class E airspace
Surface based class E is magenta segmented lines
Class E aloft area: controlled airspace beginning at 700 feet a GL and depicted by magenta vignette
Controlled airspace beginning at 1200 feet AGL used transition from the terminal or in environment as depicted by the blue vignette
