Flying Sites: Airspace

We don't have to think too much about the airspace we fly in here on Oahu, but there are a few important issues to keep in mind. Class B airspace extends down to 1000 feet over Diamond Head -- we have been warned by the FAA to stay below that altitude there. Class B airspace also extends over Koko Crater at 4000 feet. (Not that many of us have been anywhere near that high there -- but it could happen!) Elsewhere around the island, we skirt class D airspace in some spots and possibly some class E.

Also at all of our flying sites we share the air with numerous military aircraft, commercial tour aircraft and recreational aircraft of all shapes and sizes, and it's important to keep our eyes out for air traffic no matter where we are flying.

One last point: as ultralight aircraft, we need to avoid flying over congested areas - marked on the sectional map in yellow.
