Airspace question

Asked by: 848 views

Good afternoon, 

Here's my question:

I'm below the outer vail of the Dallas, Class B airspace (outer ring, 110/40) at 3000 msl. 

The Class D airspace of the Collins CO RGNL/McKinney (KTKI) is below me (blue dashed ring (sfc to [29]).    Flying 3000 ft msl, am I in class E airspace? 

Reference: McKinney, NTL  (KTKI) 

Thank you.

    Yes. One way to think of it is that if you are not in Class A, B, C, D, or G, then you are in E because E stands for “everything else.”

    So anywhere you have a vertical gap between A, B, C, D, or G, the intervening space is going to be E. Above B to A? Class E. Below B to G (at 1,200 or 700 AGL), Class E. In your example, you put a Class D between the B and what would otherwise be the G at 1,200/700 AGL. So between B and D is E.
