Subject: | Re: Airspace |
As a private pilot, and one who has based his aircraft an Air Force Base, an Army airfield, as well as civilian airports, I can tell you that just as I was subject to the rules of the military and the FAA on a base, the military is also subject to the FAA Regulations and their own regulations too. As mentioned in earlier correspondence on this subject, there are designated areas of airspace where the military may train. - These areas are well defined - by area, altitude and hours of operation (which in some cases may be 24 hours). In the case of military and civilian flights transitioning FAA designated airspace (like that which exists around all major airports, including military airports), these flights are controlled - by speed, altitude and may even be have their entry into these spaces delayed or even possibly denied. I am not aware of leasing of any airspace. Owning of airspace is an aeronautical term indicating who is directly responsible for the control of that particular airspace. Military may not (without appropriate authorization indicating who, what, when, where how and for how long) fly at any speed, altitude, time.... Steve Huff | |
