What is the best way for a remote pilot to determine the airspace class at a planned operating site?
- A.Use a current sectional chart or an FAA-provided airspace tool for the exact location
- B.Assume all rural areas are Class G
- C.Judge by the size of the nearest town
Correct answer
A. Use a current sectional chart or an FAA-provided airspace tool for the exact location
Why
Airspace depends on the exact location, so the pilot checks a current sectional chart or an FAA airspace resource such as the facility maps. Population and rural character are unreliable guides because surface areas and shelves extend well beyond airport property.
