Each class of airspace is depicted with unique markings on the sectional chart and different VFR weather minimums and equipment requirements. Have an operating transponder with altitude reporting. VOR/DME must complete an online course covering flight operations in the D.C. airspace system. Both are correct.

I was trained and prepared to solo but did not have to take a written quiz, talk on the radio, know what a transponder was, or deal with a lot of aircraft systems knowledge. We navigated using pilotage and occasionally a VOR. Have you ever seen those power outlet plugs in an airplane cockpit that we plug our iPads into?

It was not an inspiring morning to fly out of Sodus, but I knew that the poor weather was localized to the Lake Ontario shore and that Washington DC was forecast to be sunny and significantly warmer. Just north of the Selinsgrove VOR, Harrisburg called with the first change in routing. That cannot happen in the FRZ.

ADFs, marker beacons, and VOR receivers, each relying on a constantly shrinking population of land-based navaids, fill these dated flight decks. If you learned to fly on glass panels, as so many students do today, transitioning back to the traditional round dials, especially IFR in the weather, is similar to mastering the tailwheel.

You check the weather, get information Charlie, and then tune up tower frequency. Consider what calls might come up given the route of flight and the types of airspace and weather it might pass through. Say you are approaching the Grand Prairie Municipal Airport from the south in a Cessna 12345 and want to make a full stop landing.
