When a Class D airport tower is not in operation, one of the following becomes applicable
a) Class E surface area rules
b) Combination of class E rules to 700’ AGL and Class G rules to the surface
Class E Airspace
Elemental or Everywhere - Controlled Airspace.

Marked by a MAGENTA dotted circle or lines

Prohibited areas are marked with a P and a number.
No flying allowed in these areas
Restricted Air Space
Restricted areas are marked with an R and a number and are denoted by BLUE hash marks.
Drone pilots may fly in these areas with authorization from the controlling agency. Often used for test ranges, artillery fire, missiles etc
Areas marked with a W are?
Warning areas. Similar to restricted areas - you can fly with authorization.
Military Operations Areas are marked MOA on a chart.
Each pilot is responsible for collision avoidance. Contact the controlling agency to find out if the area is “hot” or not and for more information.
Alert areas are depicted on a sectional chart with an A and a number.
Purpose is to inform non-participating pilots of areas that may contain a high volume of pilot training or an unusual type of aerial activity. Drone pilots may fly in these areas but should exercise extreme caution.
