Default Airports/Airspace

wrote:

We have Class A,B,C,D,E and G Airspace. The Airspace overlays
the Airports. Now show me where in the Aeronautical Information Manual
(AIM) or an FAA Approved government publication that mentions a class
B,C,D Airport. You will not find it...


Hey, Chad, I see you finally are dipping your toes in the exciting world of
Usenet. Be ready for anything and remain thick-skinned. :-)

While perhaps there is no official reference in the AIM, I consider the
"unofficial" extrapolation of airspace down to airports a quick way for me
and my pilot acquaintances to envision the physical size of the airport,
the communication expectations, the volume of arrival and departure
traffic, and the air traffic procedures both on the ground and in the air.
