For when the Fix-a-flat, doesn't.

all I can do is chuckle....

think you'd need an FAA/pilots licence of some sort ? (if they get flight time beyond 1 minute...)

I think if you stay under 500' you're okay. Throw a rock in any direction on this website and you'll hit a pilot, so I expect somebody will correct me on that.

I'd like to hear from the resident pilots about this. I know that most of St. Louis County (MO) is in the Lambert tower control area, starting at the ground. It's my understanding that you can't fly at any altitude in this area.

Pilot licensing and certificate requirements have nothing to do with operating below 500’, or not.

Consider yourself….Corrected.

You’re in Class B airspace.

In short:
You can fly in that area (a TCA). You’ll just be in contact with an ATC of the TCA depending on what altitude you are at (those big fraction looking things on the AOPA pic) or planning to go to, and what area of the TCA you are in (Area A,B,…G)or planning to go to.


Here’s what it looks like to the pilots:

BTW - The changes were a good thing.

So as I don’t have to tray to explain it all on a post:
http://www.allstar.fiu.edu/AERO/airspace.htm

Add to that, this:

ARSA Airport Radar Service Area Class C
ATA Airport Traffic Area Class D
CZ Control Zone Class E
MOA Military Operations Area
PCA Positive Controlled Airspace (above 18,000') Class A
TCA Terminal Control Area Class B
TRSA Terminal Radar Service Area -> Class C or D
Uncontrolled Airspace Class G


Here’s what happened to your area and why:

I’m not in the mood to walk out to the hangar right now (It’s gotten cold here.) for my charts of that area, to give you any more details. Sorry.

Let’s throw a rock at Mistress, and see what she says about it all. She should be well into this stuff.

How do ultralight pilots get by without a pilot's license.

Maybe the 500' thing is remotely operated aircraft?

I'm struggling here!

B

The 500' issue deals with airspace(s) that they are not to be flying in to begin with (ref. FAR 103.17). Even then, it’s usually in reference to cloud clearance, as Class G airspace (where they operate) is surface to 1,200’ in most cases.

And as for a license – After 1/31/08, you’ll need a Private Pilot or Light Sport Aircraft license to operate a two seat aircraft. Single seat ultralight aircraft remain “no license required. (for now)

Perhaps this will help:

Hey, I was trying to hide behind that rock!

All my theories are shot down. I'm going to global warming where it's safe.

And synthetic oil is better, too!

B

Behind a rock....
Shot down...
Global warming...
Synthetic oils...



Oh... I got it ! We're talking M1A1 tanks again aren't we.....
