Not necessarily. Many uncontrolled fields have a Class E surface area, where the Class E airspace goes all the way to the ground. You need 1000/3 there. -- Regards, Stan "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." B. Franklin

An UNCONTROLLED field with E airspace to the ground?? Uncontrolled is G airspace!

Yes, there are many uncontrolled fields with Class E surface areas. An uncontrolled field is one without an operating control tower, it has nothing to do with airspace.
