    For reasons of national security, please kindly don't fly so low

    I'm planning a XC trip south for summer and thought about stopping by Augusta GA (never been, only heard of it from golf). Then I saw this airspace pictured below and it made me curious. Naturally I google around and learn about the Georgia Cryptologic Center and Fort Gordon (cool stuff), which...

    Class E Airspace History?

    Long story short, I've been checking airspace for solar sites by hand for the last couple hours for work and I started thinking - why does Class E start at 1200' AGL and 700' AGL? I know why it is shaped the way it is, why it drops down lower in certain areas, etc. But I never stopped to think...

    Interesting airspace KSSC

    I normally fly out of the northeast, but was browsing around South Carolina's sectional chart today and stumbled across Shaw AFB in Sumter, SC (KSSC). If you review the chart, you'll see the airport is surrounded by a standard double-ring class C, but it has an inner ring that is class D...

    Class E airspace

    Airspace question - Class G under Class E

    Hello all, I recently flew into Catalina Island's airport and ended up with an airspace question. I "think" the class E airspace over most of the island begins at 700' agl. As the terrain/ocean surface varies significantly within the magenta shape, is there a consistent floor to the class E...

    Towered class E airports

    Hi all. I have been a pilot for about 10 years (flying around SF/oakland area), and generally have considered towered airports to be in class d/c/b. (No exception) Was just looking at the Denver TAC chart and saw Fort Collins (KFNL) has a tower with class E airspace (magenta circle, no...

    Procedure for Class D airport with TRSA (KAZO)

    I just finished a flight from KAZO to KDPA an hour ago and flight went great (aside from frigid 0 F temps). There was one hiccup and that was my communication with KAZO on the ground. Was hoping someone could help me understand the procedure and what to expect? Let me walk through radio comms...

    Overlapping airspace

    Hello, I'm having some confusion with overlapping airspaces. If I am flying from the south to kcfo (colorado air and space) where the airspace is from surface up to but not including 8,000 feet, this overlaps the class bravo airspace of KDEN (Denver international) as the bravo shelf starts at...
