Home › Part 107 Practice Tests › Airspace & Flight Restrictions Questions › Question 40
When a part-time control tower closes for the night, the surrounding Class D airspace typically
- A.remains Class D with the same authorization rules
- B.reverts to Class E or Class G airspace as published for that airport
- C.becomes a restricted area until morning
Correct answer
B. reverts to Class E or Class G airspace as published for that airport
Why
Class D exists only while the tower is operating, so on closure the airspace reverts to Class E or Class G as published in the chart supplement for that airport. It does not convert into special use airspace overnight.
