Airspace diagram referenced in 'Air Warriors' (by Doug Waller)

[danpass]

Early on in the book there is a reference to a visual representation of the airspace rules/regulations/etc, described as two intersecting triangles.

Anyone have a copy/link?

thanks

(search for airspace, airspace diagram, diagram was inconclusive)

Are we talking just regualar civilian airspace A,B,C,D,E,G?

I don't remember that it specified but it was in the firehose portion of training.

I have no clue what that is. I am not a SNA.... yet.

There was something like that I remember from IFS. It was just a big triangle explaining VFR wx mins for each class of airspace- is that what you're looking for?

If we are talking USA airspace look at page 14 of above

that does sound like it.

I'm not sure if I still have it, but I'll see if I can't dig it up for you. I hope it isn't time critical, as I just PCS'd and still have an entire room full of unopened boxes.

Here is my version of it. I made it to help me get through the IFS exams. Fill in your own way to memorize it as mine is not G rated.

Thanks. Not time critical.

Thanks. Looks like a good starting point.
I've often seen the diagram ref'd earlier by John Wright but it just doesn't click lol and I had thought of making my own triangle. I'll likely do it anyway and use this as a check.

This topic is very old, I'm sure the OP is not worried about API at this point. But, this might be it?

I found that diagram to be too much of a headache. Then again, I still have to think for at least 10 seconds when someone asks me a question about flight rules. I chalk it up to my brain switching to shutdown mode after finishing up the Nav test. That, or the beer consumption post said Nav test. Yeah, probably the beer.

would have done so much better on my IFS exams if I would have studied this lol
