Home › Part 107 Practice Tests › Airspace & Flight Restrictions Questions › Question 65
A pilot plans to fly 2 NM from a towered airport with Class D airspace, staying at 200 feet AGL. The first compliance step is to
- A.notify passengers in nearby airliners
- B.obtain prior ATC authorization for the Class D airspace
- C.request a waiver of the altitude limit
Correct answer
B. obtain prior ATC authorization for the Class D airspace
Why
At 2 NM and 200 feet AGL the site is inside the Class D surface area, so prior ATC authorization under 107.41 is the first step. No altitude waiver is needed at 200 feet, and passenger notification is not a Part 107 duty.
