What are the typical dimensions of Class D airspace and what requirements must be met prior to entry?

4nm Radius- but airspace is tailored to the area.

Typical height is surface to 2500 AGL

you must have 2 way radio communication and communicate with the tower to enter class D controlled airspace.

Explain the minimum visibility and ceiling requirements for Class D airspace.

minimum flight visibility of 3 statute miles and a cloud ceiling of at least 1,000 feet above the airport. You must also stay 500 feet below, 1,000 feet above, and 2,000 feet horizontal from any clouds.

You have called ATC prior to entering Class C airspace, and the controller responds with

your callsign and tells you “Standby”. Are you allowed to enter this airspace without any

further instructions?

Since you have established 2-way radio communication and the controller responds with your call sign - Yes you can enter class C. Airspace.

If you don't hear your call sign, you CAN NOT enter the airspace

Describe the typical dimensions of Class C airspace. Is participation in radar services

mandatory within the outer area of Class C airspace?

Inner Circle - 5nm from center, normally SFC-4,000' MSL
Outer Circle - 10nm from center, normally 1,200'-4,000' MSL
Procedural Outer Area - 20nm from center

Describe the Class C boundaries that affect your airport or a nearby airport. Explain how you can use navigation equipment and/or ground reference points to identify the Class C airspace inner core surface area and shelf area, as well as the outer area.

In some locations Class C airspace may overlie the Class D surface area of a secondary airport. In order to allow that control tower to provide service to aircraft, portions of the overlapping Class C airspace may be procedurally excluded when the secondary airport tower is in operations. Will not receive Class C services until they have been radar identified and two-way communication established.

In addition to equipment requirements and a student pilot certificate, what other requirements must be met before a student is authorized to fly solo within class B airspace?

A medical flight certificate ground and flight training an endorsed logbook in specific B airspace

Explain the general transponder equipment and use requirements when operating within or

near Class B airspace.

To operate in or near Class B airspace, you must be equipped with an operable Mode C or Mode S transponder that provides automatic pressure altitude reporting. You are also required to have operable ADS-B Out equipment and follow strict procedures for squawking assigned codes and obtaining ATC clearance

YOu have called ATC just prior to entering class B airspace and the controller tells you to "squawk 0355 and ident" are you allowed to enter B airspace?

No, because the controller has to physically tell you your tail number and that you are cleared to enter B airspace

On a sectional chart, what does a dashed magenta line around an airport indicate?

Class E airspace

What are all the light signals?
In flight:
steady green: go ahead and land
flashing green: return for landing
flashing red:airport unsafe don't land
steady red: give way to other aircraft

ON the ground

If you receive ATC instruction that you feel may compromise safety or will cause you to violate an FAR, what should you do?

Refuse the clearance and request an amended clearance telling ATC the concern.
