One study question
Class G airspace extends from the surface to
A. the base of the overlying Class E airspace
B. the base of the nearest Class B airspace
C. 1,200 feet AGL in every location
D. the floor of Class A airspace
Answer: A. Class G airspace goes from the surface up to the base of the overlying Class E airspace. The Class B option is wrong because the passage ties the upper limit to the overlying Class E airspace.
