Airspace Flashcards - 2020 - 19

Class E Airspace, Surface Area
Description:
	 -	Around some airports, Class E airspace
		 begins at the surface, rather than the
		 normal 700 or 1,200 agl
	 -	Class D airports with part-time towers
		 usually become Class E surface areas
		 when the tower is not in operation
Requirements/Limitations:
Below 10,000 msl:
	 -	Visibility: Three statute miles
	 -	Cloud clearance:
		 -	500 feet below
		 -	1,000 feet above
		 -	2,000 feet horizontal
	 -	 Above 10,000 MSL excluding below 2,500 AGL:
		 - Transponder w/ Mode C
		 - ADS-B Out (1090ES or 978 UAT)*
*ADS-B Out is also required over the Gulf of Mexico
at and above 3,000 MSL within 12 nautical miles of
the coastline of the United States.

Question: Are Class E surface areas
always depicted with a dashed
magenta line?
Answer: No. When the tower at a Class
D airport is closed, the airspace-which
is depicted with a dashed blue line-
may revert to a Class E surface area.

Ref. FAR 91.127 and AIM 3-2-6(e)(1)
