Class E airspace — three common variants. The “catch-all” controlled airspace.
- Surface designated (E surface) — SFC up, around certain airports. Dashed magenta
boundary on the sectional. Requires ATC authorization for sUAS.
- 700+ ft AGL — shaded magenta area. Floors at 700 ft AGL. Drones under 400 ft AGL
do not need authorization here.
- 1 200 ft AGL not designated (the “default” E) — shaded blue. Floors at 1 200 ft
AGL; again, no sUAS authorization needed below 400 AGL.
