Q

How is Class B airspace depicted on a sectional chart?

A. Dashed Blue Line
B. Zippered Blue Line
C. Solid Blue Line

A

C. Thick Solid Blue Line

The line indicates the horizontal limits of the airspace.

It likely will have many different sections.

The vertical limits are also included in blue with a max and min separated by a line.

(eg. 100/70 = Ceiling of 10000’ and floor of 7000’)

Aeronautical Advisory Station. (“U” only on WAC)

29
Q

What is the default traffic pattern for airports?

A

Left hand traffic.

If there is going to be Right Hand Traffic, it will be indicated as “RP” followed by the affected runways.

30
Q

32
Q

How is Class D airspace depicted on a sectional chart?

A. Dashed Blue Line
B. Faded Blue Line
C. Solid Blue Line

A

A. Class D shown as a Dashed Blue Line

The line indicates the horizontal limits of the airspace.

It likely will have many different sections.

The vertical limits are indicated by a dashed blue box with the altitude ceiling depicted. If there is a minus sign, it means the ceiling goes up to, but does not include the number in the dashed box.

Since Class D airspace always starts at the surface, so the floor is never depicted.

(eg. 27 = Ceiling of 2700’)

40
Q

Special use air space can be both regulatory and non-regulatory.

TRUE or FASLE

A

True

41
Q

“Other Airspace” includes:

A
  • Local airport advisory (LAA)
  • Military Training Route (MTR)
  • Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR)
  • Parachute Jump Aircraft Operations

Class A extends from 18,000’ to FL600 (Flight Level 600)

NOTE: Class A is NOT depicted on charts

53
Q

FL600

A

Flight Level 600

54
Q

Class B extends from

A

Class B extends from the surface up to 10,000’ MSL, surrounding busy airports.

The configuration of Class B airspace is individually tailored consisting of a surface area and 2 or more layers.

A remote pilot MUST receive authorization from ATC before operating in Class B.

55
Q

Class C airspace is generally:

A

from the surface to 4,000’ above the airport elevation.

It usually consists of a surface area with a 5 nautical mile radius,

as well as an outer circle with a 10 nautical mile radius that extends from 1,200’ to 4,000’ above the airport elevation.

A remote pilot MUST receive authorization from ATC before operating in Class C.

56
Q

Class D airspace generally extends from:

A

Class D airspace generally extends from the surface to 2,500’ AGL above the airport elevation, surrounding airports with an operational air tower. They are individually tailored.

A remote pilot MUST receive authorization from ATC before operating in Class D.

57
Q

Class E airspace is the airspace:

A

Class E airspace is the controlled airspace not classified as A, B, C, or D.

A vast amount of airspace over the USA is Class E.

This provides sufficient airspace for the safe control and separation of aircraft during IFR operations.

Sectional and other charts depict all location of Class E airspace with bases below 14,500’ MSL.

58
Q

What is the Class E airspace base in most areas? What is an exception?

A

1,200’

In many other areas the Class E airspace base is either the Surface or 700’ AGL.

NOTE: Some Class E airspace begins at the MSL altitude depicted on charts, instead of the AGL.

59
Q

What altitude does Class E airspace typically extend up to:

A

18,000’ MSL

60
Q

What is the extent of Federal Airways?

A

Federal Airways start at 1,200’ AGL and and go up to, but not including, 1,800’ MSL.

61
Q

According to 14 CFR part 107 the remote pilot-in-command (PIC) of a small unmanned aircraft planning to operate within Class C airspace:

A. Must use a visual observer
B. Is required to file a flight plan
C. Is required to receive ATC authorization

A

C. Is required to receive ATC authorization

62
Q

PIC

A

Pilot-In-Command

63
Q

Prohibited Areas

A

Prohibited Areas contain airspace of defined dimensions within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited.

64
Q

Where can you find information about Prohibited Areas?

A

Prohibited Areas are published in the Federal Register and are depicted on aeronautical charts.

They are depicted with a “P” and followed by a number.

(ie. Camp David and the National Mall)

65
Q

Restricted Areas

A
