Home › Part 107 Practice Tests › Airspace & Flight Restrictions Questions › Question 54
Class E surface areas are established primarily to
- A.reserve airspace for drone deliveries
- B.protect instrument approach and departure procedures at an airport
- C.create a buffer zone for stadium events
Correct answer
B. protect instrument approach and departure procedures at an airport
Why
Class E surface areas extend controlled airspace to the ground so instrument approaches and departures remain in controlled airspace. They are an IFR protection tool, not a drone zone or event buffer.
