Would you be legal flying (daytime) simply "clear of clouds" ? *Could you fly with an 800 foot ceiling ? The regulations on this are a little murky...I've heard some people say Class E goes all the way to the ground below B but could never find this in the FARs/AIM. No, the regulations aren't murky. *They state that a higher class ofairspacesupercedes a lower class. *If you check the sectional the entire New York area is surrounded by Class E transitionairspace. (700-foot floor). *That applies except where superceded by Class B or Dairspace. *So, theairspaceover KLDJ is Class G below 700 feet, agl. There is a 100-foot layer of Class E below the Class B over the airport. Thanks this is all helpful. Bottom line seems to be class G below 700 feet. Thanks. |
