Two main alternatives to managing the future national airspace system have been proposed: Free Flight, in which responsibility for aircraft separation is shifted increasingly to the air, and an extension of the current system of ground-based control with the addition of advanced automation tools. ...
Class E airspace is depicted on sectional charts in three ways. A dashed magenta line indicates that Class E airspace starts at the surface, such as around an airport. This type of airspace provides extra protection for aircraft arriving at airports without control towers on cloudy days. Elmir...
