| What's interesting about this airspace is... The Class D (dashed blue lines) around Hawkins Airport (HKS) indicates
that it's from the surface to 2800 feet (the "28" inside the dashed blue line box). Now, the Jackson
International (JAN) airspace has two rings... the outside ring has it's "floor" at 1700 feet and it's
ceiling at 4400 feet. So, the only way to fly over the Class D is to be above 2800 feet. But if you do that and
you're within the outside ring, then you're in the Class C airspace. What's even more confusing is, if you fly
through the Class D airspace at, say, 2000 feet, you are simulatneously in both Class D and Class C airspace.
I'm glad this wasn't on the test! :-) |
