[QUOTE="BigAl07, post: 91252, member: 13808"] Correct but I suggest completely disregarding anything to do with distance. That just creates more confusion with people "remembering" that from the previous set of regulations. Airspace doesn't have a specific distance and often times "distance" isn't from the edge of the airport but from a fixed point somewhere around the center of the airport. There are different types of Class E (Echo) airspace. Some start at the ground (SFC), some at 700' AGL, and some at 1200' AGL. Class E SFC is the only one that comes into play ([I]unless you're doing Inspections on towers and that's a whole other ball of wax and irrelevant here[/I]) for sUAS operations. Class E 700 & 1200 have no bearing on a "legal" sUAS flight as they are well above our 400' AGL limit. If the airspace you're working around is indeed Class E 700 then the air directly under that Class E ([I]up to 699' AGL or 1199' AGL respectively[/I]) should be Class G ([B][I]Good To Go[/I][/B]). Airspace Classifications are 3D and have a length, width, and HEIGHT! Think of it as an Upside Down Wedding cake. It's confusing until one day it just "Clicks" and makes sense. Here's an excellent (and short) oveview of Airspace by Gold Seal UAV Groundschool .[MEDIA=youtube]BnF0m2Bbaro[/MEDIA] This is an excellent link to go and watch their Airspace Videos: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv5Om_Pu3tUKuhyd2CbMkDA/search?query=airspace[/URL] [/QUOTE]
