Figure 23 
(Refer to figure 23.) The visibility and cloud clearance requirements 
to operate over Sandpoint Airport at less than 700 feet AGL are 





   ANSWER: 3 miles and clear of clouds. 

   Sandpoint Airport is about 1 in. 
   above the number 1 in Fig. 23. The airspace around 
   Sandpoint Airport is Class G from the surface to 2,827 ft. 
   MSL (700 ft. AGL). For a recreational pilot to operate over 
   Sandpoint Airport at less than 700 ft. AGL, the visibility and 
   cloud clearance requirements are 3 SM and clear of clouds. 

Figure 27 
(Refer to figure 27.) The visibility and cloud clearance requirements 
to operate over the town of Cooperstown below 700 feet AGL are 





   ANSWER: 3 miles and clear of clouds. 

   The town of Cooperstown is about 
   3/4 in. above and to the right of the number 2 in Fig. 27. The 
   airspace over the town of Cooperstown (yellow color) is 
   Class G from the surface to 2,124 ft. MSL (700 ft. AGL) since 
   the town lies inside the magenta shaded area. For a 
   recreational pilot to operate over the town of Cooperstown 
   below 700 ft. AGL, the minimum visibility is 3 SM and the 
   cloud clearance requirement is to remain clear of clouds. 

Figure 27 
(Refer to figure 27, area 6.) The airspace overlying and within 5 
miles of Barnes County Airport is 





   ANSWER: Class G airspace from the surface to 700 feet AGL. 

   The requirement is the type of 
   airspace overlying and within 5 SM from Barnes County 
   Airport (Fig. 27). Note at 6 that Barnes County Airport is in 
   the lower right and is surrounded by a shaded magenta 
   (reddish) band, which means the floor of the controlled 
   airspace is 700 ft. Thus, Class G airspace extends from the 
   surface to 700 ft. AGL. 

Figure 27 
(Refer to figure 27, area 1.) Identify the airspace over Lowe Airport. 





   ANSWER: Class G airspace -- surface up to but not including 1,200 
   feet AGL; Class E airspace -- 1,200 feet AGL up to but not 
   including 18,000 feet MSL. 

   The requirement is the type of 
   airspace above Lowe Airport, which is located 2 inches left 
   of 1 on Fig. 27. Because there is no blue shading depicted on 
   the chart, Class E airspace is understood to begin at 1,200 ft. 
   AGL unless otherwise indicated. There are no airspace 
   symbols surrounding Lowe Airport, so Class G airspace 
   exists from the surface to 1,200 ft. AGL, and Class E airspace 
   exists from 1,200 ft. AGL up to, but not including, 18,000 ft. 
   MSL. 

Figure 27 
(Refer to figure 27, area 2.) The visibility and cloud clearance 
requirements to operate VFR during daylight hours over the town 
of Cooperstown between 1,200 feet AGL and 10,000 feet MSL are 





   ANSWER: 3 miles and 1,000 feet above, 500 feet below, and 2,000 feet 
   horizontally from clouds. 

   The airspace over the town of 
   Cooperstown (Fig. 27, north of 2) is Class G airspace up to 
   700 ft. AGL, and Class E airspace from 700 ft. AGL up to but 
   not including 18,000 ft. MSL (indicated by the magenta 
   shading). Therefore, the visibility and cloud clearance 
   requirements for daylight VFR operation over the town of 
   Cooperstown between 1,200 ft. AGL and 10,000 ft. MSL are 3 
   miles and 1,000 ft. above, 500 ft. below, and 2,000 ft. 
   horizontally. 

Figure 21 
(Refer to figure 21, area 1.) What minimum radio equipment is 
required to land and take off at Norfolk International? 





   ANSWER: Mode C transponder and two-way radio. 

   The minimum equipment to land and 
   take off at Norfolk International (Fig. 21) is a Mode C 
   transponder and a two-way radio. Norfolk International is 
   located within Class C airspace. Unless otherwise 
   authorized, a pilot must establish and maintain radio 
   communication with ATC prior to and while operating in the 
   Class C airspace area. Mode C transponders are also 
   required in and above all Class C airspace areas. 

Figure 21 
(Refer to figure 21, area 2.) The elevation of the Chesapeake 
Regional Airport is 





   ANSWER: 20 feet. 

   The requirement is the elevation of 
   the Chesapeake Regional Airport (Fig. 21). East of 2, note 
   that the second line of the airport identifier for Chesapeake 
   Regional reads, "20 L 55 123.05." The first number, in bold 
   type, is the altitude of the airport above MSL. It is followed 
   by the L for lighted runway(s), 55 for the length of the 
   longest runway (5,500 ft.), and the CTAF frequency (123.05). 

Figure 23 
(Refer to figure 23, area 1.) The visibility and cloud clearance 
requirements to operate VFR during daylight hours over Sandpoint 
Airport at 1,200 feet AGL are 





   ANSWER: 3 miles and 1,000 feet above, 500 feet below, and 2,000 feet 
   horizontally from each cloud. 

   The airspace around Sandpoint 
   Airport is Class G airspace from the surface to 700 ft. AGL, 
   and Class E airspace from 700 ft. AGL up to, but not 
   including, 18,000 ft. MSL (indicated by the magenta 
   shading). Therefore, 1,200 ft. AGL is within Class E airspace. 
   The VFR visibility and cloud clearance requirements for 
   operations in Class E airspace below 10,000 ft. MSL are 3 
   miles and a distance of 1,000 ft. above, 500 ft. below, and 
   2,000 ft. horizontally from each cloud. 

Figure 23 
(Refer to figure 23, area 3.) The vertical limits of that portion of 
Class E airspace designated as a Federal Airway over Magee 
Airport are 





   ANSWER: 1,200 feet AGL to 17,999 feet MSL. 

   Magee Airport on Fig. 23 is 
   northwest of 3. The question asks for the vertical limits of 
   the Class E airspace over the airport. Class E airspace areas 
   extend upwards but do not include 18,000 ft. MSL (base of 
   Class A airspace). The floor of a Class E airspace designated 
   as an airway is 1,200 ft. AGL unless otherwise indicated. 

Figure 24 
(Refer to figure 24, area 3.) What is the floor of the Savannah Class 
C airspace at the shelf area (outer circle)? 





   ANSWER: 1,300 feet MSL. 

   Class C airspace consists of a surface 
   area and a shelf area. The floor of the shelf area is 1,200 ft. 
   above the airport elevation. The Savannah Class C airspace 
   (Fig. 24, area 3) is depicted by solid magenta circles. For 
   each circle there is a number over a number or SFC. The 
   numbers are in hundreds of feet MSL. The lower number 
   represents the floor of the airspace. Thus, the floor of the 
   shelf area of the Class C airspace is 1,300 ft. MSL (41 13).

Figure 24 
(Refer to figure 24, area 3.) What is the height of the lighted 
obstacle approximately 6 nautical miles southwest of Savannah 
International? 





   ANSWER: 1,549 feet MSL. 

   On Fig. 24, find the lighted obstacle 
   noted by its proximity to Savannah International by being 
   outside the surface area of the Class C airspace, which has a 
   5-NM radius. It is indicated by the obstacle symbol with 
   arrows or lightning flashes extending from the tip. 
   According to the numbers to the northeast of the symbol, 
   the height of the obstacle is 1,549 ft. MSL or 1,534 ft. AGL. 

Figure 24 
(Refer to figure 24, area 3.) The top of the group obstruction 
approximately 11 nautical miles from the Savannah VORTAC on the 
340° radial is 





   ANSWER: 455 feet MSL. 

   To determine the height of the lighted 
   stack, first find it on Fig. 24. Locate the compass rose and 
   look along the 340 radial, knowing that the compass rose has 
   a 10-NM radius. Just outside the compass rose is a group 
   obstruction (stacks). Its height is 455 ft. MSL; AGL height is 
   not shown. 

Figure 25 
(Refer to figure 25, area 1.) What minimum altitude is necessary to 
vertically clear the obstacle on the northeast side of Airpark East 
Airport by 500 feet? 





   ANSWER: 1,273 feet MSL. 

   Find Airpark East, which is near 1 in 
   Fig. 25. Remember to locate the actual airport symbol, not 
   just the name of the airport. It is 1 in. southwest of 1. The 
   elevation of the top of the obstacle on the northeast side of 
   the airport is marked in bold as 773 ft. MSL. Minimum 
   altitude to clear the 773-ft. obstacle by 500 ft. is 1,273 ft. MSL. 

Figure 25 
(Refer to figure 25, area 2.) What minimum altitude is necessary to 
vertically clear the obstacle on the southeast side of Winnsboro 
Airport by 500 feet? 





   ANSWER: 1,403 feet MSL. 

   The first step is to find the obstacle 
   on the southeast side of Winnsboro Airport on Fig. 25, near 
   2. The elevation numbers to the right of the obstruction 
   symbol indicate that its top is 903 ft. MSL or a height of 323 
   ft. AGL. Thus, the clearance altitude is 1,403 ft. MSL (903 ft. 
   MSL + 500 ft. of clearance). 

Figure 26 
(Refer to figure 26.) At which airports is fixed-wing Special VFR not 
authorized? 





   ANSWER: Dallas-Fort Worth International and Dallas Love Field. 

   The first (top) line of the airport data 
   for Dallas-Ft. Worth Int'l. and Dallas Love Field (Fig. 26, 
   areas 5 and 6) indicates NO SVFR, which means no special 
   VFR permitted for fixed-wing aircraft.
