This type of airspace usually surrounds medium to busy airports with an operating control tower and radar approach control. (WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT)
Class C airspace.
The outer shelf typically starts at this altitude above ground.(AGL)
1,200 feet AGL
This ATC facility provides radar services for class C airspace.
Approach control or TRACON
This FAR governs VFR weather min for Class C airspace.
14CFR 91.155
If you have just taken off from Colorado Springs airport, what airspace are you in.
Class C
To enter Class C airspace, you must establish this type of communication with ATC.
Two way radio communication.
This phrase from ATC confirms you are allowed to enter Class C airspace?
Your specific aircraft call-sine, “[call-sine], standby“
This altitude markers the top of Class C airspace.
Trick! 4,000 ft above the airport elevation Or AGL.
What is the radius of the bottom (closest to the ground) of the cake of Class C.
5NM
What is the radius of the bottom of the Class C cake, (the highest altitude level)
10NM
Class C airspace usually has this basic “upside down wedding cake“ shape. (Describe it it looks like _______?)
Two concentric shelves.
Class C requires this minimum visibility in statute miles, VFR.
3 statute miles
What is 15 NM to regular miles
17.26miles!
You are 4NM from a Class C airport, are you in class c airspace. (Your altitude<4,000ft AGL)
Yes! no matter what altitude
This FAR governs VFR weather min for class C airspace.
3 statue mies visibility or 14CFR 91.155
The inner core of the Class C cake typically extends form the surface up to this altitude (AGL)?
4,000 feet AGL
Below 10,000 ft MSL in class C, aircraft must stay this distance from the cloud.
500ft below, 1,000 ft above, and 2,000 ft horizontally. (known as the 3-152 rule)
If ATC says “Aircraft calling, standby” have you established two way communication.
NO! “standby“
You are 11.62287 MILES (translate to nautical miles) out from a Class C airport, 1,000ft AGL, are you in class c air space.
nope!
What does 14 CFR §91.215 do?
(good luck)
It says “you must be equipped with an operable Mode C or Mode S transponder for altitude reporting”
Inside Class C airspace, all aircraft must have this equipment.
Mode C transponder.
Student pilots can fly in class C airspace if they have received __________?
Endorsement or permission From there instructor
Name one difference between Class C and B airspace entry requirements.
Class B requires explicit clearance, where class C only requires two way radio Communication.
If you lose two way radio communication in Class C what should you do.
Immediately squawk 7600 on your transponder to alert ATC, but just make your way out of class C airspace.
Risk taker! If you are flying at 19,000 MSL are you in a airspace.
yes you are always in a type of airspace! (When in USA)
