What this covers

Sample questions

For which airspace does Part 107 require prior authorization from air traffic control?

  1. Class G airspace that lies within 5 miles of any airport
  2. Class B and C only, because only they have radar service
  3. Class B, C and D, and Class E surface areas for an airport
  4. All Class E airspace, including that starting at 700 ft AGL
Show the answer

C. Class B, C and D, and Class E surface areas for an airport

Authorization is needed in Class B, C and D and within the lateral boundaries of the surface area of Class E designated for an airport. Class E that starts at 700 or 1,200 ft AGL is above normal operating altitudes and needs none.

Reference: 14 CFR 107.41

The chart shows that Class E airspace begins at 700 ft AGL over your job site, with no other airspace marked. You plan to fly at 300 ft AGL. What authorization do you need?

  1. None; at 300 ft AGL the aircraft is in Class G
  2. A LAANC authorization for the Class E area
  3. A waiver, because Class E is controlled airspace
  4. A clearance from the nearest control tower
Show the answer

A. None; at 300 ft AGL the aircraft is in Class G

Below the 700 ft floor the airspace is Class G, so no authorization applies. Only the surface area of Class E designated for an airport requires authorization.

Reference: 14 CFR 107.41; AIM 3-2-6

A dashed magenta line surrounds a small airport on the chart. What does it tell a remote pilot?

  1. Class D is in effect; contact the tower by radio first
  2. Class G extends to 14,500 ft MSL; no action is needed
  3. Class E starts at the surface; authorization is needed
  4. Class E starts at 700 ft AGL; no authorization is needed
Show the answer

C. Class E starts at the surface; authorization is needed

Dashed magenta marks Class E airspace that extends down to the surface for an airport, which is one of the areas where Part 107 requires ATC authorization. The shaded magenta band is the 700 ft floor, a different symbol.
